  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month. Each year, we pay special tribute to the contributions and 
sacrifices made by our nation's women. It is an honor to pay homage to 
outstanding women who are making a difference in my Congressional 
District. I would like to recognize a remarkable woman, Lynn White-
Shelby of Burbank, California.
   Lynn graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University with a major in 
physical education and science, and began her teaching career at 
Franklin High School in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles, 
California. Ms. White-Shelby's business career began in the Public 
Relations Department at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, where 
she was promptly promoted to Secretary to the President, and later as 
Assistant to the President and Assistant Director of the Postgraduate 
Department, developing the first Chiropractic Assistants program. Lynn 
then went on to work at ACCO Engineered Systems in Glendale, 
California, as Secretary to the President, which soon led to a 
management position as their Corporate Insurance and Safety 
Administrator.
   Ms. White-Shelby is a dedicated volunteer. Upon retirement, she 
jumped right into volunteering at the learning center at the Boys & 
Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley, tutoring at the Main 
Club, and co-teaching a storytelling/acting class at Burbank's 
Roosevelt Elementary School. She is also a devoted and giving member of 
the La Providencia Guild of Children's Hospital Los Angeles, serving on 
numerous committees, working at the Thrift Shop and is currently the 
First Vice President/President Elect. Lynn also served five terms as 
President of the Verdugo-Glen Chapter of the American Business Women's 
Association (ABWA), where she has been a member for over three decades, 
and currently serves as the Education Chair, which awards scholarships 
to women students. In addition, Lynn serves as Vice Chairman on the 
City of Burbank's Senior Citizen Board, and as Secretary on the Boys & 
Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley's Board of Directors.
   I ask all Members to join me in honoring an exceptional woman of 
California's 28th Congressional District, Lynn White-Shelby.
