                       RECOGNIZING BRAD GOLDBERG

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 17, 2014

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Brad Goldberg, who 
is being honored by the Humane Society of the United States for his 
dedication to the animal protection movement.
  After a 35-year career in investment management in which Mr. Goldberg 
became senior vice president of Jennison Associates, a subsidiary of 
Prudential Financial, he retired to pursue his passion--animal welfare. 
Since 2001, Mr. Goldberg has run Animal Welfare Trust, an organization 
he founded, which works to increase grant-making and capacity building 
for animal welfare groups. He has devoted himself to this organization, 
which has been involved in numerous animal welfare related initiatives, 
including support for a Florida ballot measure outlawing gestation 
crates, as well as the New York Coalition for Healthy School Food, 
which advocates for a plant-based diet in schools.
  Mr. Goldberg is also the Chair of HEART, a charity sponsored by 
Animal Welfare Trust that educates children to be compassionate and 
considerate of all living beings. As Chair of HEART, he has also given 
major gifts to support animal studies and animal law, and has funded 
fellowships for lawyers to work at nonprofits like the Humane Society. 
It is for this work in particular that Mr. Goldberg is being awarded 
the Compassion in Action Award by the Humane Society of the United 
States.
  In his personal life, Mr. Goldberg is a loving and devoted husband, 
father and grandfather. Activism and volunteerism are priorities for 
Mr. Goldberg and his wife Sunny, and animal welfare is one of many 
causes to benefit from their devotion to community and the common good. 
I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring Brad Goldberg for his hard 
work and devotion to the animal protection movement and congratulate 
him for receiving the Compassion in Action Award.
