  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Daniel 
Santaniello, who will be recognized as the Man of the Year by the 
Columbus Day Association of Lackawanna County. Daniel will be 
celebrated during the Association's 110th annual banquet on Sunday, 
October 7.
  Daniel, the son of Anthony and Trudy Quinnan Santaniello, was born 
and raised in Lackawanna County. He is a graduate of North Pocono High 
School and received his degree in accounting from Marywood University. 
Daniel currently lives in Moscow, Pennsylvania with his wife, Tina, and 
their four children, Angelo, Anthony, Lauren, and Daniel.
  Since December 2010, Daniel has served as the President and Chief 
Executive Officer for Fidelity Bank. Under his leadership, Fidelity 
Bank's assets have increased by over fifty percent. The bank has been 
ranked in the ``Top 200 Community Banks in the Country'' five years in 
a row by the American Bankers Association and named as the number one 
community bank brand by a blind market study. Fidelity has additionally 
been the number one mortgage lender in Lackawanna County for seven 
consecutive years, according to peer community bank and Home Mortgage 
Disclosure Act (HMDA) data.
  Daniel is dedicated to serving his community and lending his time to 
many local philanthropic and civic organizations across Northeastern 
Pennsylvania. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for 
Pennsylvania Association of Bankers. He is Chairman Emeritus for the 
Board of Directors of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, 
President of the Scranton Cultural Center's Board of Directors, and the 
2nd Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors for Friendship House. 
Daniel further serves as Treasurer for the Prostate Cancer Awareness 
Foundation, the St. Joseph's Center Foundation Board, and the 
Lackawanna Workforce Investment Board. He also volunteers his time with 
the Women's Resource Center, Marywood University, and his local church, 
St. Eulalia Parish.
  It is an honor to recognize Daniel as he is celebrated as the Man of 
the Year by the Columbus Day Association of Lackawanna County. I wish 
him all the best and thank him for his service to the community of 
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
