  Mr. SERRANO. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today to honor Ms. Monica Major for her many years of advocacy and 
public service in the Bronx. She is a great example of the countless 
contributions that African Americans make to our Nation every day.
  Ms. Major previously served as the Bronx Representative on the Panel 
for Educational Policy of the New York City Department of Education. In 
addition, she volunteered for Bronx Community School District 11 for 
several years, and served as President of the District 11 Community 
Education Council. One of Ms. Major's greatest accomplishments has been 
serving on the Citywide Parent Commission on School Governance as a 
parent advocate to ensure that the voices of Bronx parents were heard 
in addressing school governance issues. She is still committed to 
addressing quality of education throughout the Bronx.
  A tireless and dedicated public servant, Ms. Major currently serves 
as the Director of Education and Youth Services for Bronx Borough 
President Ruben Diaz, Jr. She is a graduate of Baruch College and is a 
certified mediator. Ms. Major is also a member of the National Council 
of Negro Women, North Bronx Section. She is the mother of two and still 
remains very active in her community.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to 
Ms. Monica Major for her strong commitment to students and for her 
vigorous advocacy on education issues.
