                      Wednesday, February 2, 2005

  Mr. TANNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of David E. Hayes, an outstanding leader in our 
community and the new chairman of the Independent Community Bankers of 
America, a group that represents almost 5,000 community bank members.
  He is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of Security Bank 
in Dyersburg, Tennessee. A native of West Tennessee, Mr. Hayes began 
his banking career in Memphis in 1967, and since then, he has amassed 
an impressive resume that includes leadership roles in many community 
and state level banking organizations.
  David has demonstrated his commitment to West Tennessee not only 
through his professional career, but also through his enthusiastic 
involvement in the local community. He has served as the chairman of 
the Dyersburg Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the Dyer County United 
Way, and president of the Dyer County Heart Association. He has also 
been an active member of the Dyer County Industrial Development Board 
and the Executive Committee of the Dyersburg State Community College 
Foundation Board. He and his wife of 37 years, Sara, have two children, 
David Jr. and Amy, and two young grandchildren, Joanna and David.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to please join me in congratulating Mr. Hayes 
on his election to the chairmanship of the Independent Community 
Bankers of America. We in West Tennessee are very proud of his 
outstanding achievement.
