                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 19, 2014

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Bob Dickerson 
of RESULTS, a grassroots organization dedicated to creating the 
political will to end poverty in the U.S. and abroad. Mr. Dickerson has 
contributed immeasurably to the local and international community over 
the last twenty-five years as a volunteer leader.
  After working as an attorney in Seattle for a number of years, Mr. 
Dickerson left his law practice and began working nearly full-time as a 
RESULTS volunteer. His passionate and ever present voice for the 
powerless--especially children--is truly remarkable. In 2005, his work 
was recognized with the Thomas C. Wales Foundation Award for Civic 
Engagement and Passionate Citizenship.
  As the RESULTS Seattle Group Leader, Mr. Dickerson has developed deep 
partnerships with powerful coalitions, elected leaders and the media. 
His work inspired Members of Congress and volunteers across the country 
on both sides of the aisle to serve as vocal spokespersons in support 
of the Global Poverty Act, the Education for All Act, the Global Fund 
for AIDS, TB and Malaria, and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and 
Immunizations, among many others.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great admiration that I recognize Bob 
Dickerson for twenty-five years of excellence. I wish him the best of 
luck in all his future endeavors.
