  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the National 
Association of Insurance Women, International.
  The National Association of Insurance Women, International has 
achieved an illustrious record of professional achievement and 
dedicated service to its clients and the nation and is deserving of 
public recognition and commendation. This highly esteemed association 
is composed of 359 local organizations numbering approximately 13,000 
members, all of whom are competent women and men employed in various 
fields of the insurance industry.
  Constantly creating good will through integrity and dedication, the 
National Association of Insurance Women, International has grown 
remarkably since it was founded in 1940, with some 39 women 
representing 17 regional insurance clubs. The major purpose of this 
effective organization is to encourage and foster educational programs 
designed to broaden the knowledge and the understanding of the 
insurance field and to cultivate increasing friendship, loyalty, and 
desire for service among its members.
  The National Association of Insurance Women, International includes 
within its code of ethics the laudable pledge of service that is 
honest, thorough, gracious, and professional. This organization has 
been recognized as a vital resource by the Independent Insurance Agents 
of America, the American Association of Managing General Agents, the 
Insurance Institute of America, and the Chartered Property and Casualty 
Underwriters.
  I am honored to recognize the National Association of Insurance 
Women, International and commend its members on their 41 years of 
dedication and hard work.
