  Mr. GONZALEZ of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
career of one of my district's most committed leaders, Virginia 
Addicott. Since beginning her career at FedEx Custom Critical in Green, 
Ohio in 1986, she has served as vice president of operations and chief 
executive officer.
  Under her leadership, Ms. Addicott has helped establish FedEx Custom 
Critical as one of Northeast Ohio's best workplaces. Her efforts have 
helped the company receive the Northcoast 99 award an impressive 
eighteen times. Recognized not just for her leadership locally, but 
also across the country, she was a recipient of the 2019 Moves Power 
Women

Award. Ms. Addicott's emphasis on workplace culture and a teamwork 
environment serves as a model for every American business.
  In addition to her successful business career, Ms. Addicott has been 
a committed leader in the Northeast Ohio community. She is involved in 
several philanthropic organizations, serving on the board of Akron 
Children's Hospital, the Greater Akron Chamber, and the non-profit 
organization, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and 
Technology. She is also a trustee at her alma mater, Kent State 
University.
  Without a doubt, Ms. Addicott's investment in our community has made 
a positive impact on the livelihood of thousands of Ohioans. On behalf 
of Ohio's Sixteenth Congressional District, I offer my sincerest 
appreciation to Ms. Addicott for her service and wish her all the best 
on her retirement.
