                       Wednesday, March 19, 2003

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a distinguished 
Californian, Carol Young-Holt, as she is inducted into the San Mateo 
County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Carol Young-Holt is a model for success in academics, professional 
development and nonprofit management. As the Coordinator of the South 
Coast Collaborative (SCC), a grassroots organization, she has united 
members of the South Coast area into a community of equal partners and 
initiated a multitude of programs for community development and 
enhancement. She has secured over a million dollars of funding for 
local projects and has designed a community development plan that among 
other things, developed a strong community leadership program for 
Spanish-speaking residents. She also established the first local 
positions for mental health and community outreach workers. The change 
in the South Coast community since she became Coordinator has been 
described as a ``Renaissance for both the English and Spanish-speaking 
communities.''
  Aside from her remarkable work through the SCC, Carol Young-Holt has 
lectured at Stanford University, directed the prestigious Bing Nursery 
School Child Development Laboratory School, and created an innovative 
child development teaching and management program with Foothill and 
Canada Community Colleges. She is the publisher of many seminal 
articles, was director of a national multimedia-training program for 
early childhood educators and served as a program consultant for 
federal government Head Start programs.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Carol Young-
Holt as she is inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
