                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 28, 2012

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month. Each year during the month of March, we pay special tribute to 
the accomplishments made by our Nation's most distinguished women.
  Today, I pay tribute to Nancy E. Guillen of Burbank, California. Born 
in Guatemala City, Guatemala, Nancy, who is the youngest of four 
children, immigrated to the United States in 1968 at the age of six, 
and became a U.S. citizen in the early 1980s. Upon graduating from John 
Marshall High School, Nancy attended Glendale Community College.
  Ms. Guillen is the CEO of True Integrity Insurance & Payroll Services 
in Burbank. Prior to this career, Nancy worked in the medical field for 
over two decades. Aside from being a dedicated career woman, Nancy has 
always found time to volunteer and contribute many hours of service to 
a variety of organizations, including Kid's Community Dental Clinic, 
Glendale Noon Kiwanis, Family Service Agency of Burbank, The Salvation 
Army of Burbank, Ascencia, and Family Promise of East San Fernando 
Valley, where she also serves as a Board Member. Currently, Nancy is 
President of the Glendale Latino Association, and helps raise 
scholarship funds for Glendale Community College and Glendale High 
School students.
  In addition to volunteering countless hours at homeless shelters, 
supporting families and children, and volunteering for nonprofit 
organizations, Nancy is also an avid supporter of breast cancer 
awareness. As a breast cancer survivor herself, Nancy participates in 
cancer walks, is involved with the American Cancer Society, Relay for 
Life in Burbank and Fiesta of the Spanish Horse to help raise funds to 
cure cancer. Ms. Guillen's commitment to help women who are battling 
breast cancer is admirable, and she always finds time to speak with 
them and support them in any possible way she can.
  Nancy has two children, Juan and Cindy, and a granddaughter, Natalia, 
who she says are the greatest blessings in her life.
  I ask all Members to join me in honoring a remarkable woman of 
California's 29th Congressional District, Nancy E. Guillen, for her 
exceptional service to the community.
