                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                      Wednesday, October 30, 2019

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
tenacious and self-driven community servant, Tina Ingram.
  Tina Ingram is a Yazoo City native. Tina started her career as a 
young mother after graduating from Yazoo City High School in 1986. She 
attended Phillips College where she obtained a certification in Word 
Processing, which led to her first job in word processing at Deposit 
Guaranty Bank in Jackson in 1987.
  For eight years Tina commuted to Jackson while she worked at Deposit 
Guaranty, and also spent another two years in Jackson working for 
Allstate Insurance, but she missed spending time at home with her 
children.
  It was in January of 1999 that Tina was given an opportunity to start 
working with Bank of Yazoo as a part-time teller. By April of the same 
year, she was working full-time and has been with the Bank ever since.
  During her tenure at Bank of Yazoo she has worked in the loan 
department before becoming a Vault Teller and a Customer Service 
Representative at the Jerry Clower location. Most recently Tina has 
been promoted to Teller Manager of the Yazoo City and Flora Branches.
  While continuing her work at Bank of Yazoo, Tina graduated from the 
Mississippi School of Banking and earned her bachelor's degree in 
Business management from Belhaven University in 2016.
  Tina has been married to Louis Ingram for 28 years. She is the mother 
of three. With Proverbs 3:5-6 as her guiding light, Tina gives all 
honor and glory to God for each success that has blessed her life thus 
far.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Tina 
Ingram for her hard work, dedication and tenacity to serving others.
