                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mark Behan on 
receiving the Henry Crandall Award.
  For the past six years, the Crandall Public Library has presented the 
Henry Crandall Award to an individual active in the community who 
embodies the values of loyalty, perseverance, generosity, compassion, 
and civic pride. This year, the Library selected Mark Behan, a 
gentleman who is a staple of the Glens Falls community. Mark's 
dedication to improving his community and his commitment to the 
Crandall Public Library is admirable.
  A former board member of the Crandall Public Library, Mark holds a 
number of positions that qualify him for this award. He serves his 
community as the vice chairman of the Board of Governors of Glens Falls 
Hospital, co-vice chair of the Board of Trustees of The Hyde 
Collection, a member of the board of the Glens Falls Foundation, and a 
director of Glens Falls National Bank and Trust Co. and Arrow Financial 
Corp. After a career in the newspaper industry, Mark founded Behan 
Communications, where for 30 years he has provided public relations 
advice to organizations in his community. His philanthropic spirit is 
contagious.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to congratulate Mark 
for this well-deserved award, and thank him for his tireless commitment 
to making his community a better place to live.
