  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Norma Bang.

She graduated from John Jay High School in Park Slope Brooklyn, New 
York in 1978.
  Norma has worked in various positions throughout her career including 
seven years working in New York's Garment center, two years working on

Manager for a large non-profit organization, Homes for the Homeless.

  Norma joined Related Companies in December 2002 as a Property Manager 
of Gateway Center in East New York, Brooklyn. Norma's successful 
operations of Gateway Center and her excellent relationship with the 
tenants and the local community is a valuable contribution to Related's 
development efforts in the New York area.
  Norma currently resides in Queens, New York along with her husband of 
twenty years, Kenneth and three children Brian & Brandon ages seventeen 
and Nia age twenty.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Mrs. Bang for her 
extraordinary accomplishments and her spirit which reflect the best our 
nation has to offer.
