  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Ms. Beth Mooney, 
who is being honored as the fifth recipient of the Notre Dame College 
Medal.
  Born and raised in Midland, Michigan, Ms. Mooney's family relocated 
to Texas prior to her senior year of high school. She studied history 
at the University of Texas where she graduated summa cum laude in 1977. 
Following graduation, Ms. Mooney took on jobs at First City National 
Bank of Houston and Republic Bank in Dallas. While working with 
Republic Bank, she earned an MBA from Southern Methodist University in 
1983.
  After more than 30 years of experience in banking, which includes 
serving as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 
for AmSouth Bancorporation, Ms. Mooney joined KeyCorp in 2006 as Vice 
Chair of Key Community Banking. Just a few years later, Ms. Mooney was 
made the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of KeyCorp, becoming the 
first woman to head one of the 20 largest independent banks in the 
United States.
  In addition to serving as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 
KeyCorp, Ms. Mooney is a dedicated member of the Greater Cleveland 
community. She is a trustee and treasurer of the board of the Musical 
Arts Association/The Cleveland Orchestra, a trustee of The Cleveland 
Clinic Foundation, a trustee of United Way of Greater Cleveland, a 
member of The Financial Services Roundtable and board chair of 
Neighborhood Progress, Inc.
