                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 15, 2018

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. JoAnna Dye, 
who is retiring from Blackhawk College. Ms. Dye has become a pillar of 
the Blackhawk community, and she will be greatly missed.
  Ms. Dye has worked at Blackhawk College for 34 years, serving as the 
Financial Aid Director for the last 12 years. She has always gone above 
and beyond, and received the 2010 Sustained Service Award from the 
Illinois Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (ILASFAA) 
in recognition of her notable contributions to Blackhawk College. 
Additionally, Ms. Dye has worked to deliver professional development, 
leadership and educational opportunities to colleagues and students 
throughout Illinois by serving as the Executive Vice President and 
later the President of the ILASFAA. Her dedication to ensuring all our 
children have the opportunity to succeed has undoubtedly enriched our 
community and the lives of those she has touched.
  It is because of dedicated and selfless leaders such as Ms. JoAnna 
Dye that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional 
District. Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Ms. 
JoAnna Dye on her well-earned retirement and thank her for all of her 
contributions and service to our community.
