  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Linda Judah of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Linda is active in the community 
and has been chosen to receive the YWCA Women of Excellence Lifetime 
Achievement Award: Woman in the Workplace.
  Ms. Judah has served as Director of Buchanan Child Support 
Enforcement, a hospital and school nurse, and is currently the 
Executive Director of the Social Welfare Board. Linda has grown to have 
a compassionate understanding of the specific health challenges faced 
by low-income patients and has worked aggressively to overcome those 
challenges. Through her hard work and dedication to ensure that the 
Social Welfare Board achieve the highest level of care, the clinic now 
serves as a standard for others seeking to provide high-quality care.
  In addition to serving as a leader for several overseas medical 
trips, Ms. Judah has worked diligently to secure funding for the free 
clinic through a period of economic uncertainty and has earned such a 
respect among nursing students and interns that she was invited to be 
the commencement speaker at graduation.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Linda Judah. 
She has made an amazing impact on countless individuals in the St. 
Joseph community. I am honored to represent her in the United States 
Congress.
