  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 25th 
anniversary of Tempe Leadership. Tempe Leadership has continuously 
identified bright and exceptional community members and nurtured their 
leadership skills through education, experience, exposure and service.
  In its 25 years, Tempe Leadership has played an essential role in 
fostering tomorrow's community leaders. To date, Tempe Leadership 
boasts more than 400 graduates, including highly accomplished elected 
officials, board members, and numerous business and non-profit 
executives. Each year, participants of the program tackle a class 
project, which utilizes their skilled and unskilled physical labor to 
give back to Tempe.
  I would like to congratulate Tempe Leadership on 25 years of success, 
and express my gratitude for the profound contributions its graduates 
have made to our community's quality of life. Because of Tempe 
Leadership, their positive impact on our community will be felt for 
decades to come.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing Tempe Leadership's 
impressive 25 years of service. The program's dedication to enhancing 
Tempe leaders should serve as an inspiration to us all.

                          ____________________
