                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 4, 2015

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my friend 
Berlinda Tyler-Jamison on her retirement from UnityPoint Health-Trinity 
after 28 years. During her time at UnityPoint she created programs like 
``Stylin' Against Breast Cancer'' and the ``Trinity Golf Tournament,'' 
which annually raise tens of thousands of dollars for their important 
causes.
   Berlinda's hard work has extended beyond her professional career. 
She dedicates her time to the Rock Island community as the president of 
the county branch of the NAACP and has served on the Rock Island 
Planning Commission as well as on the boards for MetroLINK and 
Arrowhead Ranch.
   Over the years, Berlinda's commitment to creating a more diverse and 
welcoming community has never faltered. Even now as she prepares for 
this next part of her life, she plans to remain active and involved in 
bettering our community in Rock Island County. Her passion for serving 
others is truly outstanding.
   Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Berlinda for everything she has 
given the Rock Island community and congratulate her on her well-
deserved retirement. I have faith that her future endeavors will be 
successful.
