                      Thursday, November 20, 2008

  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor June W. 
Butterfield, who is the recipient of the 2008 Experience Works Prime 
Time Award for Outstanding Older Workers.
  Experience Works strives to improve the lives of older people through 
employment and community service. 2008 marks the eleventh year 
Experience Works is leading this national, yearlong initiative that 
recognizes remarkable individuals 65 and older who continue to make 
valuable contributions in the workplace.
  This year's recipient from the state of West Virginia is June W. 
Butterfield, an office manager for the West Virginia Board of Risk and 
Insurance Management in Charleston. Working since she was 18, June 
started in the private sector but has been a government employee in one 
form or another for the past 38 years. The constant challenges and 
opportunities to become more efficient are what keep June so motivated. 
Her co-workers recognize this effort and praise her positive attitude 
in the office. A former competitive runner, June is a big advocate of 
staying healthy and encourages her colleagues to stay fit. She 
encourages all older people to keep working, saying ``it keeps you 
young.''
  It is an honor to represent this outstanding woman who serves as a 
strong leader and excellent role model for older women in her 
community. Congratulations to June W. Butterfield as the recipient of 
the 2008 Experience Works Prime Time Award for Outstanding Older 
Workers.
