   IN RECOGNITION OF NANCY CAMPBELL FOR HER CAREER WITH THE NATIONAL 
                           WOMEN'S LAW CENTER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DEBBIE DINGELL

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 26, 2017

  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Nancy 
Campbell for her work with the National Women's Law Center. As founder 
and co-president of the organization, Ms. Campbell has been an 
effective advocate for women throughout her career.
  Ms. Campbell began her career as a law professor with appointments at 
the Georgetown University Law Center and Catholic University's School 
of Law in Washington, DC. She also served as an attorney with the 
Center on Social Welfare Policy and Law, where she cofounded the 
National Women's Law Center with Marcia Greenberger in 1981 as an 
outgrowth of their work with the institution. The NWLC provides legal 
assistance for women and develops legislative initiatives to promote 
fair treatment for women and girls in the United States. The center has 
been at the forefront of driving action to address these issues, and 
its advocacy has let to real improvements in protections for women, 
including stronger enforcement of Title IX, the federal law prohibiting 
discrimination on the basis of sex.
  As cofounder of the NWLC, Ms. Campbell has played a pivotal role in 
shaping the organization and advancing priorities for women. She was a 
participant in a successful Supreme Court case that expanded AFDC 
eligibility to include two-parent families with unemployed mothers, and 
has strengthened the rights of military women who have faced sexual 
harassment and discrimination in the workplace. As a result of these 
accomplishments, Ms. Campbell has received numerous accolades, 
including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services and the District of Columbia Bar's William J. 
Brennan Award in recognition of her outstanding legal career serving 
the public. She has been a tireless advocate for women and families, 
and it is my hope that the NWLC continues to build on her legacy of 
excellence as she moves on from her current position with the 
organization.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Ms. Nancy 
Campbell for her career with the National Women's Law Center. Ms. 
Campbell's efforts have led to significant improvements in legal 
protections for women.
