  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate 
Derek Martin on receiving the Blair County Chamber of Commerce's Donna 
D. Gority Servant Leadership Award, which recognizes individuals who 
serve the Blair County community through their workplace.
  As the COVID-19 pandemic changed life across America, Derek led 
Altoona Curve staff members in assisting businesses and individuals who 
were hardest hit in Blair County. He mentored others and offered 
support and encouragement to those who needed it most. Despite growing 
challenges, Derek continued his work to help our community weather this 
storm.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Derek on this accomplishment and thank him for his service 
to the Blair County community.
