  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Joann E. 
Evans, one of my most distinguished constituents, for her service to 
the people of Philadelphia. Throughout her life, Ms. Evans has 
demonstrated unwavering loyalty to her community and church. The 
recipient of numerous rewards, she has held a number of leadership 
positions that allowed her to better our city.
  She has showcased her administrative skills by serving as the 
Director of Support Services for the Center City Association and the 
Client Relations Manager for Penn Health Pass Corporation. In her 
efforts with Philadelphia's Mariama House and the United Negro College 
Fund, Ms. Evans has worked to advance the city's young adults.
  In addition to her involvement in the community, Ms. Evans has 
furthered her commitment to education through participation in her 
church. She has worked as a youth minister and retreat leader for 
parochial schools and religious organizations throughout the Nation. As 
a contributing writer for The National Catholic Reporter and the Faith 
Alive Series, Ms. Evans shares this sense of faith and activism with 
readers.
  As a native of Philadelphia, Ms. Evans has made a remarkable 
contribution to her city. I assure you that her leadership is felt by 
all members of this community. Once again, I congratulate and thank Ms. 
Evans for her immeasurable service to this Philadelphia.
