                         Tuesday, July 8, 2008

  Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I want to bring to the 
attention of my colleagues the important accomplishments of Tommie Ann 
Gibney. Ms. Gibney is a shining example of a woman who tries hard and 
succeeds brilliantly. She does it all. She is a professional, a 
distinguished attorney, friend of many, wife, mother, and in June of 
this year Ms. Gibney will add president. She will be one of only three 
women to ever hold the prestigious position as president of the 
Association of Trial Lawyers of America/New Jersey, an organization of 
over 2100 attorneys, paralegals, law clerks and law school graduates 
who protect New Jersey families by advocating for safer products and 
workplaces, a cleaner environment, and quality health care.
  Ms. Gibney attended Seton Hall University for her undergraduate, 
graduate, and law school degrees. As an associate at Andres and Berger 
in Haddonfield, New Jersey, Ms. Gibney fights tirelessly for victims of 
nursing home abuse and neglect. She volunteers her services and vast 
legal knowledge to Trial Lawyers Care, 9-11 Legal Assistance, and to 
the Hyacinth Aids Foundation. She is a role model for all law 
professionals both in and outside of the courtroom. My congratulations 
to Tommie Ann Gibney and her family.
