                        HONORING CORA GREENBERG

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 27, 2018

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor my constituent, Cora 
Greenberg of Pleasantville, New York. After 23 years of service, she 
will retire from her position as Executive Director of Westchester 
Children's Association (WCA) at the end of June.
  Ms. Greenberg joined the 104-year-old organization in 1994. During 
her tenure, WCA expanded from a staff of two and an annual budget of 
$120,000 to a staff of eight and a yearly budget of nearly $1 million. 
WCA has increased Westchester County funding for youth programs and 
improved the selection process for funded programs through its Campaign 
for Kids. Additionally, WCA's data publications and analyses have 
become go-to resources for many advocates and policymakers.
  Prior to joining WCA in 1994, Ms. Greenberg was the Associate 
Executive Director of Project Reach Youth, a multi-service youth and 
family agency in Brooklyn, New York, where she was highly influential 
in developing model programs in youth development, family literacy, and 
after-school education. Before joining Project Reach Youth, she served 
as Executive Director of Interfaith Neighbors, a-youth program founded 
and supported by more than 20 churches and synagogues on Manhattan's 
Upper East Side, and as a Program Coordinator at United Neighborhood 
Houses, a membership organization of 39 settlement houses and community 
centers in New York City.
  Throughout Ms. Greenburg's time at WCA, she improved the lives of 
children in Westchester County by shaping policies and programs to meet 
their needs. She made thoughtful community engagement a priority for 
WCA, ensuring the organization continues to thrive and is well 
positioned to help many more children in the years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my fellow Members of Congress to join me in 
expressing thanks to Ms. Greenberg for her 23 years of outstanding 
service, dedication, and passion to the Westchester Children's 
Association and to the children and families of Westchester County and 
beyond.
