  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Ronald S. 
Clinton, dedicated community leader and advocate.
  Ron Clinton's remarkable twenty year experience is highlighted by a 
personal dedication to organizational effectiveness and empowering 
others to succeed. He has devoted most of his professional services to 
the areas of assessment, consultation, development, planning and 
management services for small, mid-size and large companies.
  Mr. Clinton graduated from Boriqua College with a bachelor's degree 
in Human Services. He continued his graduate studies at Yeshiva 
University where he received his Masters of Social Work and specialized 
in community organizing. It was during this time that Mr. Clinton 
pursued and developed Helping Hands Unlimited, Inc. (HHU), a not-for-
profit organization. It was through HHU that Mr. Clinton created and 
committed himself to the mission of bringing qualified health 
professionals into impoverished communities to ensure the delivery of 
quality care.
  Mr. Clinton is President and Founder of Helping Hands Unlimited, Inc. 
He has represented clients in various capacities working closely with 
inter-governmental affairs at the city, state and federal levels 
ensuring the public interest of his clients. One of his paramount goals 
is to build a creative and aspiring consulting company over a strong 
foundation and guiding principles of leadership and success.
  As a community leader and activist, Mr. Clinton serves on numerous 
boards and committees. His drive and passion for effecting positive 
change are evident through his personal efforts and commitment to stay 
involved in community service. The vast influential relationships he 
built over the years strengthened his solid position among his 
colleagues. Mr. Clinton served as the vice president of Pueblo 
democratic club in Williamsburg/Bushwick. He was elected as the 
Democratic Party's Kings County delegate for Al Gore's presidential 
candidacy. Mr. Clinton ran for the New York City Department of 
Education School District 32 School Board in 2002. In 2004, Mr. Clinton 
ran for New York State Senate and served as co-chair of the East New 
York and Brownsville HIV Care Network and is currently serving as 
chairperson of Woodhull Medical Center North Brooklyn Network Community 
Advisory Board.
  Mr. Clinton enjoys spending time with his ten-year-old son, Ronald, 
coaching baseball, basketball and wrestling.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing a man 
of great conviction and dedication to community service, Ronald S. 
Clinton.
