   COMMENDING JOYCE BOLAND FOR RECEIVING THE REGIONAL COMMISSIONER'S 
            CITATION FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. TODD RUSSELL PLATTS

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 7, 2009

  Mr. PLATTS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend my constituent, 
Joyce Boland, for receiving the Regional Commissioner's Citation from 
the Social Security Administration. The Regional Commissioner's 
Citation is the second highest award that Social Security gives to 
employees who demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism as 
established by the agency.
  Joyce Boland has worked for the Social Security Administration for 39 
years and has dedicated her life to public service. She is often asked 
to train and mentor employees in other branches, which she does without 
hesitation. In fact, this is the third time she has received the 
Regional Commissioner's Citation, an award that is rarely awarded even 
once in a career, let alone three times.
  I applaud the good service that Joyce Boland has not only provided 
the Social Security Administration, but to the citizens of York County 
and Pennsylvania as a whole. For this reason, I urge my colleagues to 
join me in commending Joyce Boland for her good work and service to her 
country.
