Carver State Bank on his election as chair of the National Bankers 
Association.
  The National Bankers Association is based in Washington, D.C., and 
has represented minority-owned and women-owned banks in the U.S. since 
1927.
  Mr. James wears many hats. He serves Carver State Bank as its 
director of Strategic Initiatives and is a member of its board of 
directors; is a partner at the law firm, Golden Holley James, LLP; and 
is president of Coastal Legacy Group, LLC, which is a real estate 
development and consulting firm he founded in 2004.
  When he was earning his law degree at Harvard, he received a legal 
training scholarship and was elected president of Harvard Black Law 
Students Association, as well. By stepping up to the plate to lead the 
National Bankers Association, he has demonstrated his dedication to 
serving his community and contributing to the success of the American 
banking industry as a whole.
  Congratulations, again, on this great accomplishment. Mr. Speaker, I 
wish Mr. James the very best.
