                       Wednesday, March 21, 2018

  Mrs. McMORRIS RODGERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career 
of Pam Lund, Chief Executive Officer of the Girl Scouts of Eastern 
Washington and Northern Idaho Council. Pam is retiring at the end of 
April after 11 years of service to the Girl Scouts.
  Pam's career has taken her in numerous directions including teaching, 
consulting and working for the Washington State Governor's office 
coordinating their work-force training programs. She used her 
experiences in these previous positions to grow the Girl Scouts Program 
in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Today, the programs in this 
region have over 3,200 girls participating in these programs, aimed at 
building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world 
a better place.
  During her tenure, she successfully merged two councils into the 
current council structure. She also nurtured the council through 
financial crisis to a position of financial health and strength. She 
was also responsible for garnering vital donor support to revitalize 
Camp Four Echoes, creating a hallmark property for the girls, the 
council, and the community to enjoy. She has attracted and developed a 
talented staff that is ready, willing, and able to elevate the Girl 
Scout mission and programs to the next level.
  Pam describes her role with the Girl Scouts to be one of an 
encourager, a leader and a change agent. I appreciate her dedication 
and years of service to this organization and I know that her impact 
will be long felt among young women and troop leaders involved in Girl 
Scouts.
