                        Wednesday, July 17, 2019

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hall 
County Chief Assistant Public Defender and Gainesville resident, Nicki 
Vaughan, who was recently honored by the Georgia Appleseed Center for 
Law and Justice.
  Last month, Ms. Vaughan was awarded the Good Apple Award from the 
Georgia Appleseed Center for Law and Justice to honor her admirable 
leadership as chair of the Child Protection and Advocacy Section of the 
State Bar.
  For three decades, Ms. Vaughan has dedicated her career to helping 
at-risk children and youth in Georgia's juvenile and family court 
systems. During her tenure, Ms. Vaughan launched the state's first 
Court Appointed Special Advocate Program. She has also generously given 
her time to the State Bar's Executive Committee and Board and 
Governors.
  Ms. Vaughan has made an incredible impact on the lives of countless 
children and families throughout the state, and I am personally very 
thankful to Ms. Vaughn and her colleagues for their dedication to our 
justice system.
  On behalf of the Ninth District, I hope you will join me in thanking 
Nicki Vaughan for her steadfast commitment to bettering the lives of 
our younger generation.
