  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Greg Collins, who 
is receiving the Community Service Award from the Greater Wilkes-Barre 
Salvation Army.
  Mr. Collins is the Area President for Wells Fargo's Northeast 
Pennsylvania market, which serves nine counties in northeast 
Pennsylvania. Prior to joining Wells Fargo in 1992, Mr. Collins was 
marketing manager for Bridon American Corporation.
  A native of northeastern Pennsylvania, Mr. Collins' leadership and 
influence extends far beyond the workplace. He serves as a board member 
for several area organizations, including Misericordia University, the 
Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry, Leadership 
Wilkes-Barre, and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council of the Boy 
Scouts of America. Mr. Collins is a Scranton Plan committee member as 
well as Chairman of the 2015 American Heart Association Gala for 
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
  Mr. Collins is a 2010 graduate of Leadership Wilkes-Barre's Executive 
Leadership Program, as well as a 4th degree member of the Knights of 
Columbus. Earlier this year, he received the 2015 North Star Award from 
the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council of the Boy Scouts of America. 
This community service award recognizes individuals for their 
contributions and dedication on behalf of humanity and the promotion of 
health and wellness for all.
  It is a distinct honor to honor Greg Collins on receiving the Greater 
Wilkes-Barre Salvation Army Community Service Award, and I commend him 
for the many years of dedicated service he provided to our local 
community. His work on behalf of others serves as an inspiration for 
all of us.
