  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Geraldine 
(Jerry) Henderson, owner o Henderson Training and Consulting, in the 
Second Congressional District of West Virginia. She also owns and 
operates ``A Governor's Inn,'' which is a bed and breakfast, in 
Buckhannon, West Virginia. Ms. Henderson has achieved the title of 
Women in Business Advocate of the Year. The West Virginia District of 
the United States Small Business Administration, a leader in the 
promotion and growth of our, state, gives this award annually.
  Ms. Henderson began Henderson Training and Consulting of West 
Virginia to give advice to business people. She leads classes 
throughout the state dealing with small business issues such as staff 
development, supervisory techniques and placing emphasis on hospitality 
and responsibility to the community. Ms. Henderson embodies the values 
that created the American success story: self-reliance, hard work, 
perseverance and optimism. I commend her for her contributions to the 
West Virginia economy.
  Successful small businesses not only serve as the backbone of the 
economy, they anchor communities and promote civic pride. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in celebrating Ms. Henderson's tremendous 
achievement as the West Virginia Small Business Administration's Women 
in Business Advocate of the Year.
