TRIBUTE TO PEGGY L. GREENBERG
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary
work of Peggy L. Greenberg, director of the Office of Education and
Training, who is retiring at the end of this month after 11 years.
Peggy has been responsible for the training and development of all
Senate staff in both the Washington, DC, office and all the Senate
State offices. Her department offers programs in a wide variety of
areas including general professional development, management and
leadership development, legislative information and technical computer
skills training.
After earning her undergraduate degree in nursing from Southwestern
Louisiana, Ms. Greenberg moved from nursing in Louisiana to
Massachusetts, where she was a pediatric nurse. She eventually became
the director of nursing inservice education and later the director of
education for all of Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Boston. During that
time, she earned a master's degree in adult and continuing education
from Boston University.
Peggy was the director of Organization Effectiveness and Performance
Consulting for Med Star Physician Partners and then a director of
learning and organization development for Kaiser Permanente of the Mid-
Atlantic States. She was recognized in the Kaiser Permanente
organization nationwide as a leader in the training and organization
development area.
Peggy Greenberg has been a key contributor to improving the
effectiveness and efficiency of Senate staff. We have all benefited
from her professional and personal commitment to improving every aspect
of or our individual and organizational development. The Senate has
been fortunate to have someone with her knowledge and experience.
The Senate community will miss Peggy, and wishes her well as she
enjoys long and adventurous bike rides with her husband, Brian and
continues indulging her love of tap dancing.
