                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 4, 2004

  Mr. CAPUANO. Speaker, I rise today to recognize William Boyan's 
leadership as Chairman of the Children's Hospital Boston Board of 
Trustees.
  Mr. Boyan has had a long and distinguished business career in my 
state, culminating as President and Chief Executive Officer of John 
Hancock Financial Services. No less impressive, however, is his work on 
behalf of the children of Massachusetts.
  Mr. Boyan recently completed a five-year term as Chairman of the 
Children's Hospital Board. He will remain as a Board member, where he 
has served with distinction for the past twenty-five years. Under his 
leadership, Children's Hospital Boston has continued its preeminent 
work in clinical medicine, research, and training, on behalf of our 
nation's youngest patients.
  As a true public servant, Mr. Boyan has lent his wisdom and expertise 
to many initiatives throughout Massachusetts. He also currently serves 
on the Boston School Committee, and his commitment to the city's 
children and their education is well-known. His passion for excellence 
and his philanthropic efforts on behalf of the schools have made a real 
difference in the lives of children in every neighborhood of the city.
  Children's Hospital has been a leading voice on behalf of children's 
health care needs. The hospital's many community service projects touch 
the lives of children and families throughout the state. Mr. Boyan's 
dedication has been an essential part of the hospital's success.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with pleasure that I recognize and honor William 
Boyan's efforts and achievements.
