  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Robin Jay, an 
award-winning speaker, author, and coach who has inspired and motivated 
countless entrepreneurs to establish their visions and achieve success 
in their field.
  Robin Jay, originally from Cleveland, Ohio, started her own 
successful writing and public speaking career after eighteen years as 
an advertising account manager. She recognized the power of a positive 
mental attitude and that the key to success lay in leadership, 
management, focused attention, and self motivation. Her personable 
demeanor and inspiring message has enabled her to connect with 
audiences of entrepreneurs across the nation and quickly put her in 
demand as a keynote speaker and coach. As a professional key note 
speaker, author and corporate trainer, Ms. Jay works with her clients 
to accomplish the same thing she did--establish their vision and 
achieve it. As one of the leading business relationship experts, she 
teaches her clients how to build profitable business relationships in a 
way that motivates and inspires them.
  Her first book, ``The Art of the Business Lunch'', a book on business 
relationships, is a best seller and is now sold in ten languages 
worldwide. She is also the author of ``The Power of Mentorship'' series 
which includes ``The Millionaire Within'', ``For the Woman 
Entrepreneur'', and ``Chicken Soup for the Wine Lover's Soul''. Several 
of her articles have been featured in What's On Magazine and she was a 
featured mentor in the movie ``The Power of Mentorship--Unlock Your 
Journey to Success''.
  Ms. Jay sits on various organizational boards and has been recognized 
several times for her groundbreaking and inspirational work for 
business entrepreneurs. She was awarded the Women in Communication 
Media Award for the Radio Account Executive of the Year and served as 
past President of the Las Vegas Women in Communications organization. 
Currently, she is on the board of directors of the Juvenile Diabetes 
Foundation and The Advertising Community Talent Show.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and recognition 
of Robin Jay for her outstanding leadership skills and for her 
extensive and diverse service to many individuals as they strive to 
achieve their dreams.
