                        Thursday, April 22, 2010

  Mr. PETERS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dianne 
Addington, president and CEO of Genisys Credit Union, on her retirement 
from Genisys. As a Member of Congress it is both my privilege and honor 
to recognize Ms. Addington for her many years of service and her 
contributions which have enriched and strengthened our community.
  Ms. Addington brings a lifetime of experience to her current position 
at Genisys Credit Union; a career which began almost 40 years ago as a 
part-time teller at T&C Federal Credit Union. Through Ms. Addington's 
ingenuity and hard work she eventually rose to the position of 
president and CEO of T&C Federal Credit Union, one of the parent 
companies of Genisys, which she has held for the last 21 years. During 
her tenure at Genisys, Ms. Addington has been awarded numerous 
accolades for her commitment to the community including awards from the 
Sojourner Foundation, the Clinton Valley Council of the Boy Scouts of 
America, and the Pontiac Chamber of Commerce. In recognition of her 
many contributions, the Michigan Credit League, MCUL, awarded her the 
Distinguished Service Award in 2006, for which she was inducted into 
the Michigan Credit Union Hall of Fame.
  Under Ms. Addington's leadership Genisys Credit Union has grown into 
a thriving local institution, which is deeply involved in strengthening 
the communities it serves. Genisys is a strong philanthropic partner to 
Southeast Michigan, having received numerous awards and recognitions 
from the community for the programs it has sponsored. In keeping with 
their mission to provide excellent customer service and to support its 
community, Genisys continues to create programs which highlight the 
importance of financial literacy to its more than 117,000 members and 
to the communities it serves. Moreover, through its strong commitment 
to quality customer service Genisys Credit Union was recognized by the 
readership of Corp! Magazine as a ``Best of Michigan Business'' in 
2009.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today to honor Ms. 
Dianne Addington for her many contributions to our community and her 
leadership at Genisys Credit Union. I wish her many more years of 
health, happiness, and productive service.
