                      Thursday, September 26, 2002

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Michael G. Anzilotti for receiving 
the 2002 Gala & Community Leadership Award.
  Mr. Anzilotti deserves praise for his long-time commitment, and the 
ongoing involvement of his firm, to community service. He graduated in 
1971 from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University with a 
Bachelor's of Science Degree in marketing. In addition he has received 
a Masters's Degree in Business

Administration from George Mason University and is a graduate of the 
Stonier Graduate School of Banking.
  In 1971, Mr. Anzilotti joined First Virginia Bank as a management 
trainee in the accounting department. In recognition of his superior 
work, he was promoted to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial 
Officer in 1982. The following year, he was promoted as President of 
Northern Operations Center, Inc. Then, in 1986, he was promoted to the 
post of Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer. 
Finally, in 1995, he was promoted to his current position, President 
and Chief Executive Officer.
  Mr. Anzilotti is currently a member of the Board of Trustees of 
George Mason University Foundations, Inc. He is a member of the Boards 
of the Fairfax County School Superintendent's Business/Industry 
Advisory Council (BIAC), The Virginia Business Higher Educational 
Council, the Northern Virginia Business Roundtable, the Northern 
Virginia Transportation Alliance, and is chairman of the Virginia State 
Chamber of Commerce. He is also Past Chairman of the Fairfax County 
Chamber of Commerce, Past President of the Northern Virginia Community 
College Educational Foundation, Inc., and Past Chairman of the Arts 
Council of Fairfax County. All of these impressive accomplishments and 
titles, however, pale in comparison to his work to improve our schools, 
better our communities, and enhance the quality of life for all 
Virginians.
  Mr. Anzilotti resides in Chantilly, Virginia with his wonderful wife, 
Jane Anzilotti. Together, they have raised two children, who are now 
fully grown.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I wish the very best to Mr. Anzilotti as he 
is recognized for his years of service to the First Virginia Bank. He 
certainly has earned this recognition, and I call upon all of my 
colleagues to join me in applauding his remarkable service to our 
community.
