                       Wednesday, March 28, 2012

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, in 1987, Congress declared 
March to serve as ``Women's History Month,'' in efforts to acknowledge 
the important role women have played in shaping America. In honor of 
this occasion, I would like to recognize the leadership of County 
Councilwoman Joyce Dickerson, my good friend, who has proudly been 
serving the constituents of the Second District in Richland County, 
South Carolina, since January 2005. Councilwoman Dickerson is committed 
to creating economic development opportunities and growing 
relationships between constituents and elected leaders in South 
Carolina. As President-elect of the National Foundation for Women 
Legislators and the incoming Chair, I commend Joyce Dickerson for her 
efforts to empower elected women in South Carolina and across this 
great Nation.
