                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 13, 2010

  Mr. MOORE of Kansas. Madam Speaker, before my election to the House 
of Representatives, I served for several years as an elected member of 
the board of trustees for the Johnson County Community College in 
Overland Park, Kansas. This excellent community college is the crown 
jewel of my home community, and I was very proud to be associated with 
this outstanding institution of higher education.
  During my board service, I got to know Dr. Sally Winship who served 
as dean of the College's Continuing Education and Community Services. 
This month, Dr. Winship is retiring after working as a community 
college educator and administrator for 37 years. She retires as vice 
president of the College's Workforce, Community and Economic 
Development Department, and has also served as president of the JCCC 
Center for Business and Technology.
  Sally was originally trained as a dental hygienist and became 
coordinator of the JCCC program before becoming assistant dean of the 
Science, Health Care and Math Division in 1987. She received her B.S. 
degree from Armstrong State College, and then obtained her M.S. degree 
from Columbia University, and her doctorate in education from the 
University of Kansas.
  During Sally's time at the college, the outstanding Regnier Center 
for Technology and Business was designed, built, and opened. Her 
responsibilities included managing over 60 full-time staff and 550 
part-time faculty, as well as managing programs serving over 155,000 
participants and 480 area businesses.
  Sally worked hard to make the Johnson County Community College this 
area's workforce development resource for the greater Kansas City 
business community. During her time at the college, it grew in student 
population, course offerings, campus buildings, prestige and 
reputation.
  Madam Speaker, I join Sally's many friends and colleagues in wishing 
her health, happiness, and prosperity for the next chapter of her life, 
and in thanking her for her many, important contributions to our 
community.
