  RECOGNIZING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF PAM HOWELL-BEACH TO GREATER TOLEDO

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and pay tribute 
to the contributions of Pam Howell-Beach to the greater Toledo 
community.
  During her tenure with the Toledo Community Foundation, Pam guided 
the organization to a strong financial future, increasing its assets by 
over $80 million.
  Later, as executive director of the Stranahan Foundation, Pam oversaw 
grant distributions of more than $71 million to organizations working 
in education, health, and the arts.
  Pam's leadership in the nonprofit world was as wide as it was 
appreciated and as big as her heart. From working with the Zonta Club 
of Toledo, Philanthropy Ohio, Ability Center of Greater Toledo, and 
Mercy Health Partners, to the Early Childhood Funders Collaborative, 
and Susan G. Komen Foundation, her impassioned service touched the 
lives of thousands upon thousands of Toledoans.
  As Pam confronts a challenging health situation, I want to convey, on 
behalf of all Toledoans, how grateful we are for her work, her life, 
her dedication and her love for community. We are all the better as a 
result of her lifelong commitment to others.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Pam, and may God bless her today and always.
