                        TRIBUTE TO DONNA L. PILE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, today I commend Ms. Donna L. Pile of 
Lexington, KY, for her service to her community and her Nation as a 
member and leader of the National Association of Professional Insurance 
Agents.
  Ms. Pile recently served as President of the National Association of 
Professional Insurance Agents, the first woman ever named to that 
position. She previously served in many positions of responsibility for 
the association. Ms. Pile was also president of the PIA of Kentucky in 
2000 and has been Kentucky's representative on the PIA National Board 
of Directors since 2000. Ms. Pile is also a member of the National 
Association of Insurance Women.
  Active in her community, Ms. Pile is managing partner of the A.G. 
Perry Insurance Agency of Lexington. She has served her community as a 
homeroom mother in grade school and as Booster Club president to the 
Jessamine County Boys' Soccer Program for 10 years. She has taught PIA 
Young Agents classes and also served on numerous strategic planning 
committees for Jessamine County Schools.
  As president of the National Association of Professional Insurance 
Agents, Ms. Pile's dedication to the highest standards of her 
profession has earned her the respect of friends, associates, business 
colleagues, and the insurance industry as a whole. She took seriously 
her role to advocate for professional insurance agents across the 
United States and has left behind a stronger organization for her 
efforts.
  I want to recognize today the many successes that Donna L. Pile has 
accomplished throughout her career and to again congratulate her on the 
completion of her term as the president of the National Association of 
Professional Insurance Agents.
