                        Wednesday, May 24, 2017

  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize David Shtulman 
for his work with the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor. As the 
Federation's Executive Director for the past nine years, Mr. Shtulman 
has helped the organization grow and develop to meet the needs of the 
Ann Arbor community.
  Founded in 1987, the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor serves as 
a forum to initiate and coordinate activities that foster Jewish 
communal life while promoting social justice. The organization hosts a 
variety of events throughout the community, including public forums 
discussing local and national events, as well as dinners and community 
gathering events. Additionally, the Federation administers the Jewish 
Community Foundation, a fund that provides assistance to local groups 
that further the organization's mission. Since 2008, Mr. Shtulman has 
served as the organization's Executive Director and has played a 
crucial role in the Federation's success during his tenure.
  Throughout his time as Executive Director, Mr. Shtulman has provided 
important guidance for the staff and members of the Jewish Federation 
of Greater Ann Arbor. Under his leadership, the size of the Jewish 
Community Foundation has grown substantially, allowing the organization 
to fund Hillel programs in the community in addition to family services 
and supports. As a result, the Federation was able to allocate over 
$1.5 million to local, state and national organizations in the year 
2015. Mr. Shtulman has also championed youth exchange initiatives as 
well as Hillel programs at the University of Michigan and Eastern 
Michigan University. His principled leadership and passion for helping 
the Jewish community have helped it grow stronger, and he will be 
missed as he retires as Executive Director next month.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring David 
Shtulman for his outstanding work as Executive Director of the Jewish 
Federation of Greater Ann Arbor. Mr. Shtulman has provided important 
aid to the Jewish community through his leadership and efforts.
