                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 2011

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, public service is a noble profession when 
done honestly and well. Those who work in government, serving the 
people, do so with pride of accomplishment in the knowledge that they 
are helping to make life easier for those they serve.
  Evie Davis, the District Manager of the West Nyack Social Security 
office began her career with the Social Security Administration 40 
years ago, in October of 1970, at the Northeastern Program Service.
  She held a variety of positions of increasing responsibility, rising 
to District Manager of the White Plains office in 1990. She served 
there for eleven years before moving across the Hudson River to her 
current position in Rockland County.
  She has served on many committees and workshops in furtherance of 
helping the SSA better help its clients, including the workgroup on the 
Limited-English Speaking Population. She has also served on the 
Advisory Committee of the Offices for the Aging in both Westchester and 
Rockland Counties.
  She has always prided herself on her service to the Social Security 
Administration and the people it serves, touching the lives of 
virtually all of America's families in one way or another. She derived 
great fulfillment from her role in managing and always strove to 
contribute to a satisfying work environment. For her dedication and her 
abilities she has received many awards, including the Associate 
Commissioner's Citation.
  Evie and her husband Mark are about to celebrate their 35th wedding 
anniversary. They have two sons, Eric and Jarrod and twin baby 
granddaughters.
  I congratulate Evie Davis for her 40 years of public service in 
helping people. She has earned our thanks and praise for the good work 
she has done for so many years in making our lives and the lives of 
those around us better and more fulfilling.
