                          HONORING MOLLY LLOYD

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. LEE TERRY

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 10, 2008

  Mr. TERRY. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the accomplishments of my 
District Director Molly Lloyd. Molly recently celebrated 10 years of 
service in my Omaha Congressional Office. She is a dedicated servant to 
the Second Congressional District of Nebraska. She works hard and 
deserves accolades.
  Molly Lloyd serves as my District Director in my Omaha Congressional 
Office. Molly knows how to lead and build an effective team, not to 
mention her stealth communication skills. Her talents and commitment to 
selfless public service are evident throughout the community. No one is 
more loved and respected than Molly Lloyd.
  Molly is a lifelong Nebraskan and was born to proud parents Kay and 
Bob Koozer in Omaha. She graduated from Westside High School and 
attended Hastings College where she earned a bachelor's degree in 
communications in only 3 years. After college, she worked to elect 
Mayor Hal Daub for the city of Omaha and served as his director of 
public affairs until 1997. I was fortunate to gain her as a member of 
my congressional staff upon my election in 1998. She is mother of two 
beautiful daughters, Emma and Ellie and is married to her soul mate 
Mark Lloyd.
  Some questioned me for hiring someone so young to become the director 
of my Omaha office, but their criticisms were soon silenced as her 
talents and her commitment to selfless public service became obvious to 
the entire community. Her strong leadership skills and fierce 
dedication to conservative principles have served my office well.
  Molly knows her hometown inside and out and is an active member of 
the community, including volunteering and advocating for causes and 
organizations such as the Joslyn Foundation, the American Diabetes 
Association, and as a founder of the Leadership Circle to help the next 
generation of women leaders enter public service.
  I appreciate Molly's friendship, and I respect her dedication and 
invaluable contributions over the past ten years. I am proud to call 
her a friend and to congratulate and honor her today for all that she 
has accomplished.
