                        HON. PETER J. VISCLOSKY

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 14, 2011

  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I 
congratulate Mr. Paul M. Maday on his retirement from his position as 
Business Manager/Secretary-Treasurer for the Boilermakers Local 374, as 
well as his position as Recording Secretary-Treasurer for the 
Northwestern Indiana Building and Construction Trades Council. Paul, a 
member of the Boilermakers Local 374 for many years, has dedicated his 
life to the interests of his fellow tradespeople and the entire 
community in Northwest Indiana. For his lifetime of service to the 
Boilermakers, Paul was honored at a retirement dinner that took place 
at Avalon Manor in Merrillville, Indiana, on Friday, June 10, 2011.
  Paul Maday has been a member of the Boilermakers Local 374 for 34 
years. During his tenure, he has held numerous positions. After four 
years as an apprentice, Paul became a journeyman, a general foreman, 
and a union steward. Paul's career continued to advance, and he was 
named Assistant Business Manager in 1995, a position he held for ten 
years. Because of his hard work and tremendous leadership skills, Paul 
went on to become Business Manager/Secretary-Treasurer in 2005 and was 
reelected to this position in 2008. Paul also has served as Recording 
Secretary-Treasurer for the Northwestern Indiana Building Trades 
Council since 2005. For his noteworthy level of skill and commitment, 
Paul was appointed to the Indiana State Pressure Vessel Board in 2002, 
2005, and 2008. Additionally, he has served as chairman of the 
Boilermakers National Pension Trust and the National Annuity Trust and 
also served as chairman of the Tripartite Committee for U.S. Steel, 
ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor and Burns Harbor, representing the 
Northwestern Indiana Building Trades Council. Paul's passion, devotion, 
and continuous support to the Building Trades is truly remarkable, and 
for this he is worthy of the highest praise.
  Northwest Indiana has a rich history of excellence in the 
craftsmanship and loyalty of tradespeople. For many years, Paul Maday 
has displayed unwavering dedication to the members of the Building 
Trades, and his various positions have allowed him the opportunity to 
touch the lives of countless individuals. Not only has Paul selflessly 
served his local members, but through his work with the Building 
Trades, he has been a remarkable example of just how much good a 
dedicated individual can do for a community. When it comes to serving 
those in need, Paul Maday has been a leader of his members and the 
Northwestern Indiana Building and Construction Trades Council to ensure 
that innumerable good works are done. Paul also selflessly gives of his 
time to many charitable organizations. He has been involved in the 
Alzheimer's Association walk-a-thon fundraiser and has served on the 
executive board for the American Heart Association of Northwest 
Indiana, as well as the Northwest Indiana Workforce Investment board. 
Although Paul has served the Building Trades and his community with 
complete dedication, it is his commitment to his family that is most 
impressive. Paul and his wonderful wife, Terry, have two beloved 
children and one grandchild.
  Mr. Speaker, Paul Maday has given his time and efforts selflessly to 
the union members he has worked so tirelessly with and represented so 
well. He has given to the people of Northwest Indiana personally and 
through his work with the Building Trades Council. He has been a true 
role model to his peers and a true friend to Northwest Indiana. I 
respectfully ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues join me 
in commending Paul for his outstanding contributions and in wishing him 
well upon his retirement.
