                        Tuesday, April 19, 2016

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend and congratulate 
William Nan Li on receiving the U.S. Small Business Administration's 
2016 Champion of the Year Award for Guam. This award honors an 
individual on Guam who has fulfilled a commitment to support and assist 
minority entrepreneurs and small business owners.
   William is an Assistant Vice President and Business Development 
Officer with the Bank of Guam, the largest financial institution on 
Guam, serving individual clients, small businesses, middle-market and 
large corporations, and government entities. In his role at the Bank of 
Guam, Will interacts with clients on a daily basis to provide 
assistance and counsel on appropriate commercial banking services to 
meet their business's individual needs. He has provided outstanding 
assistance to many local businesses, from restaurants to retail owners 
to contractors and investors. Further, he works with several Bank of 
Guam initiatives to promote financial literacy and sponsoring events 
and causes, including the Guam International Marathon, the Guam 
Football Association, and the ``Nihi Tan Fan Bisita'' which works with 
local mayors to extend financial counseling to island residents who may 
not have the resources to obtain it themselves.
   Will is also an active member of our island community. He is a 
current Board Member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Guam and the 
Guam Chinese Association, as well as a member of the United Chinese 
Association, Guam Chinese Contract Association, and the Chinese Women 
Association. Will also volunteers for outreach events that teach safe 
financial practices to local high school students.
   I join the people of Guam in congratulating William Nan Li on his 
selection as the SBA's 2016 Minority Small Business Champion for Guam. 
I commend him for his many contributions to our island and community.
