                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 24, 2018

  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
work and service of a dedicated educator, woman of grace, and servant 
to all mankind, Mrs. Carolyn G. Randolph. Mrs. Randolph, Life Member of 
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., has been elected to serve as the 
South Atlantic Regional Director, reflecting her distinguished 
leadership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. A luncheon honoring her 
will be held on Saturday, July 28, 2018 at 1 p.m. at the Green Island 
Country Club in Columbus, Georgia.
  A native of Columbus, Georgia, Carolyn received a Bachelor of Science 
degree in Secondary Mathematics from the University of North Carolina 
at Greensboro, a Master of Science degree from North Carolina A&T State 
University, and an Education Specialist degree from Columbus State 
University.
  Winston Churchill said, ``We make a living by what we get, but we 
make a life by what we give.'' Through every stage of her life, Mrs. 
Randolph has always given of herself to others. She served as an 
educator for many years before retiring and today, she serves as a 
Clinical Supervisor for the Mathematics Woodrow Wilson Fellows and an 
adjunct instructor at Columbus State University.
  Carolyn's service also extends into her church life at Fourth Street 
Missionary Baptist Church in Columbus, Georgia where she is an active 
member. A dedicated servant of God, she has served in the Deacon's 
Wives, Christian Education, Pastoral Relations, and Men's and Women's 
Ministries.
  Carolyn was first initiated in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. 
through the Alpha Psi Omega Chapter in Wilmington, North Carolina, the 
first Greek letter organization among African-American women in 
Southeastern North Carolina. She is currently a member of the Gamma Tau 
Omega Chapter in Columbus, Georgia where she has served as President 
(two terms), First Vice President, Second Vice President, House 
Treasurer, Chaplain, Chair of the Connections Committee, a member of 
the Graduate Advisors Council, former Chair of the Scholarship 
Committee, and first President of the chapter's foundation, 
S.I.S.T.E.R.S., Inc.
  She has diligently served at the local, regional, and international 
levels within Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and was recently awarded 
the 2018 Georgia Legislative Women's Caucus Servant Leadership Award, 
which was presented by Georgia State Representative Carolyn Hugley 
(District 136) during Women's History Month.
  Mrs. Randolph has accomplished many things in her life but none of 
these would have been possible without the enduring love and support of 
her husband, Chester; their three daughters, and their three 
grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join my wife Vivian and me, along 
with the more than 730,000 constituents of the Second Congressional 
District of Georgia, in extending our sincerest congratulations to Mrs. 
Carolyn G. Randolph for being elected the South Atlantic Regional 
Director for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and for her many years of 
service to her community, nation, and all mankind.
