  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Muriel 
Scott, the President and CEO of the Central Maine Area Agency on Aging, 
better known as Spectrum Generations. For more than three decades, 
Muriel has been dedicated to building a strong agency to serve central 
Maine's elderly population.
  Muriel has always believed in the importance of seniors' exercising 
their own independence. For decades, Muriel has worked to support 
policies and initiatives that make it easier for seniors to live in 
their own homes and lead their own lives.
  Muriel's hard work and dedication expanded Spectrum Generations to 
seven community center locations in central Maine. She first joined 
Spectrum in 1976 as the Director for the Retired Senior Volunteer 
Program, and Muriel would serve as Nutrition Director before rising to 
the position of Associate Director in 1979.
  Under Muriel's leadership, Spectrum became a leader in ensuring 
community access

to these services in multiple, convenient locations. Her achievements 
in Maine led her to national success, serving as a delegate to the 1995 
White House Conference on Aging and a Board member of the National 
Association of Area Agencies.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Muriel Scott on her 
retirement after 34 years of dedication to Maine's elderly.
