  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Jill Johnson upon her retirement from the Napa County Office of 
Education. Jill has served in this office for 30 years, and she will 
end her career as Director of General Services this September. Her 
commitment to our local community is notable and deserving of 
recognition.
  Over the past thirty years, Ms. Johnson has led a remarkable career. 
She began as an aide, and worked her way up to teacher, and eventually 
head teacher. Her administrative background includes time as purchasing 
agent and purchasing supervisor. She then moved on to become an 
Admissions Coordinator for Fairs, and currently serves as the Director 
of General Services for the Napa County Office of Education.
  In addition, Ms. Johnson has been awarded several titles and held 
several offices throughout her professional experience. She served as 
an Alternate Board Member for the North Bay Schools Insurance 
Authority. She was part of the California Schools of Business Officials 
as a Sacramento Section Director, as well as part of the Sacramento 
Section Research and Professional Development Committee. Jill is a 
former member of the Sunrise Soroptimist and is currently a Member of 
the School Nutrition Association and Women of the Moose.
  Mr. Speaker, it is fitting and proper that we honor Jill Johnson at 
this time and thank Jill for her invaluable service and wish her a most 
enjoyable retirement. Her commitment to serving her community and her 
level of dedication will not be easily replaced.
