  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Jennifer (Stelmach) Inman, an exemplary community leader and citizen 
from my district, who was recently named Alumnus of the Year at Western 
Kentucky University.
  A 1994 graduate, Jennifer was active in Alpha Gamma Delta, Spirit, 
and numerous other campus organizations while earning her BS in Agri-
Business. Jennifer returned to her hometown of Owensboro shortly after 
graduation, where she has remained active in WKU alumni relations. She 
has played an integral role in revitalizing the Owensboro alumni 
chapter, first as Vice President and now as President. She is currently 
employed as a marketing consultant and commodities broker with Hayden-
Hunt Agri-Marketing.
  In addition to her career and work on behalf of WKU alumni, Jennifer 
Inman is a very active member of the Owensboro community serving as the 
Vice Chair of the WKU-Owensboro Advisory Council, President of the 
Daviess County Extension Council, Secretary of the 4-H council, Vice 
President of the Kentucky Women in Agriculture, and Chair of the 
Chamber of Commerce Agri-Business Committee. Jennifer is also a member 
of the Junior League of Owensboro, YMCA Board of Directors, Owensboro 
Daviess County Tourism Commission and the Mount St. Joseph Retreat 
Center Advisory Board.
  Jennifer has previously been nominated for the Athenia Award, 
recognizing outstanding women leaders in the Owensboro community. She 
has also served on the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce Board of 
Directors and as Co-Chairperson for the Chamber Young Professionals.
  It is my great privilege to recognize Jennifer Inman today, before 
the entire U.S. House of Representatives, for her lifelong example of 
leadership and service. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating her for being named Western Kentucky University Alumnus 
of the Year. Her unique achievements and continued dedication to her 
community make her an outstanding American worthy of our collective 
honor and respect.
