TRIBUTE TO CHERYL BULLOCK
Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, today I wish to commend Cheryl Bullock as
she retires from public service. Cheryl has honorably served the people
of Pennsylvania for 9 years through her role as my southeastern
Pennsylvania regional director. She has been a valuable asset to my
office, the city of Philadelphia, and the Commonwealth.
Prior to joining my office, Cheryl spent the majority of her career
with WPHL-TV. Cheryl spent over 20 years with the station handling
media buys and marketing for local and national advertisers, including
sports sponsorships and advertising with the Philadelphia Phillies,
Flyers, and 76ers. Her tenacity and infectious laugh made her a natural
at WPHL. She was later appointed governor of the Philadelphia
Advertising Club from 2012 through 2014 after they recognized her
strong leadership and dedication to her work--in and outside of the
office.
Upon her departure from WPHL-TV, Cheryl transitioned to the public
relations team within the Community College of Philadelphia. From 2007
to 2008, Cheryl managed strategic messaging, communications, and campus
activities and events--skills she later utilized throughout her work
for the people of Pennsylvania. Due to her creative nature and way with
words, she was trusted to write multiple articles for three community
college publications.
In addition to her professional pursuits, Cheryl has held leadership
roles in several organizations geared towards community empowerment and
service. Cheryl served as the vice president of Philadelphia Chapter of
the Links, Incorporated, as well as president of the National Coalition
of 100 Black Women. The National Coalition of 100 Black Women was
created to establish a leadership forum for Black women from all
geopolitical and socioeconomic groups. Cheryl's service within these
organizations is a clear demonstration of her long-standing commitment
to improving the lives of others.
Over the course of the last 9 years, the Commonwealth has benefited
from Cheryl's thoughtful guidance, driven attitude, attention to
detail, and overall leadership. We will all miss her passion for
service and commitment to helping others. I wish Cheryl well in her
retirement as she plans to spend more time with her husband, George,
and son Jordan.
