  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Morgan Brand of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Morgan is active in the 
community and in her school and has been chosen to receive the YWCA 
Women of Excellence Future Leader Award.
  Leadership is a hallmark of Morgan's high school career. While 
earning high academic honors each semester, she remained involved in 
Student Council and was a delegate to the Missouri Association of 
Student Council Summer Leadership Workshop. Morgan's leadership extends 
to the broader community where she has worked part-time and was 
essential to the organization of the Senior Citizen Prom. She is often 
seen at athletic events supporting her peers, and is a member of the 
varsity tennis team as well as a gifted actor and singer. Morgan was 
also named to the Scholastic Honor Society at its May induction 
ceremony. Morgan is a natural tutor and mentor, leading activities for 
struggling students.
  Those who work with Morgan describe her as highly organized and able 
to win the participation of others though her own example and 
dependability. Morgan Brand has a bright smile and a bright future both 
in terms of personal success and community.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Morgan 
Brand. She is an amazing individual and a tremendous asset to our 
community. I am honored to represent her in the United States Congress.
