  HONORING DR. HUMPHREY LEE UPON HIS RETIREMENT FROM NORTHWEST SHOALS 
                           COMMUNITY COLLEGE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. ROBERT B. ADERHOLT

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 5, 2017

  Mr. ADERHOLT. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the great 
leadership and character of Dr. Humphrey Lee on his retirement from 
Northwest Shoals Community College in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
  Dr. Lee was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. After graduating 
high school, he entered the University of Alabama where he earned his 
bachelor, masters and doctoral degrees.
  After leaving the University of Alabama, Dr. Lee dedicated the next 
42 years of his life to the two-year college system in the state of 
Alabama. His four decades with Alabama's two-year college system 
carried him to Brewer State Junior College and Shelton State Community 
College. Finally, Dr. Lee became President of Northwest Shoals 
Community College in 2004.
  During his 14 years serving as President at Northwest Shoals 
Community College, Dr. Lee made workforce development the keystone of 
his administration. To achieve this goal, Dr. Lee oversaw tremendous 
growth and improvement in the programs offered by the school in areas 
such as Automotive Service Technology, Heating, Ventilation and Air 
Conditioning and Cyber Security, just to name a few.
  While Dr. Lee is retiring from Alabama's two-year college system, I 
know that he will remain, as he always has been, very active in the 
local community, as he serves on numerous boards and is the current 
Chairman of the Shoals Chamber of Commerce.
  Dr. Lee has two sons; Preston who is married to Kristina; and Spencer 
who is married to Marie, with two grandsons, Brayden and Landon.
  Once again, I congratulate Dr. Lee on his many years of service to 
education in the state of Alabama, as well as on his well-deserved 
retirement. I wish him the best in the coming years and on future 
endeavors.
