  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to applaud Mary Berg for 
being recognized by the West Chamber as a 2016 Celebrate Women Honoree. 
Celebrate Women Honorees are known for their perseverance, 
accomplishments, generosity, and dedication to their passions and their 
community.
   For more than 21 years, Mary Berg has served the Jefferson County 
community in many different capacities. She is currently the Deputy 
Director of Jefferson County Department of Human Services. She is 
passionate about ensuring the safety and well-being of children and 
their families. Her actions at the local, state and national levels 
have promoted the expansion of child welfare training programs and 
systems of care as well as legislation impacting children and families.
   Mary received her Master's Degree in Social Work from the University 
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and is also a graduate of the Leadership 
Jefferson County class of 2008. She has co-authored publications on 
teamwork and has presented at multiple state and national conferences. 
Her tireless efforts to enable Jefferson County to serve more 
vulnerable children and families have improved the community greatly.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Mary Berg for this well-
deserved recognition by the West Chamber.
