                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 6, 2015

  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Marsha 
Bianconi for her distinguished service as the Executive Director of the 
Conference of Western Wayne. Marsha's commitment to our community has 
enriched the lives of so many and helped guide the leaders of our 
region towards collective and coordinated success.
  The Conference of Western Wayne is a consortium of eighteen western 
Wayne County communities who meet monthly to discuss issues including; 
legislation, transportation, public safety, substance abuse, economic 
development, and the environment. For over thirty five years, the 
Conference of Western Wayne has moved forward with its mission to 
support the bi-partisan, mutual interest of its member communities. For 
twenty seven of those years, Marsha has shaped the mission, vision, and 
programming of the organization and taken it far beyond what anyone 
would have imagined when it started.
  As we reflect on her service and accomplishments, it is important to 
recognize that Marsha has been a wonderful mother of two children, 
Steven and Melissa, and a loving wife to her husband Bob. After all, we 
are all working to build stronger, safer communities not just for 
ourselves, but for our families and friends. While she is looking 
forward to retirement, I know that we will not lose her insight and 
leadership in our region because she will continue to stay involved in 
so many of our community organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today to honor Mrs. 
Marsha Bianconi for her twenty seven years of service to our 
communities and for her dedication to regional cooperation. I thank her 
for her leadership and wish her many years of joy in her retirement.
