                        Friday, October 15, 2021

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jessica 
Workman, Vice President of Member Experience at Advantage One Credit 
Union as she is awarded the Unsung Heroine Award at the Southern Wayne 
County Regional Chamber's 5th annual Women of Achievement Awards. Her 
significant contributions to our downriver community are worthy of 
commendation.
  Ms. Workman began her career at Advantage One Credit Union over 12 
years ago as a teller and has worked her way up to her current role as 
Vice President of Member Experience. A native of Romulus, Michigan, she 
studied Political Science at University of Michigan--Dearborn. As a 
leader in her office, Ms. Workman is always looking for ways to improve 
the credit union for employees and members alike, and she meets each 
new challenge with enthusiasm. Even during a core conversion in the 
midst of a pandemic, Ms. Workman remained dedicated to making a 
positive change in her workplace--even when things got tough.
  Her colleagues know her as someone who always has an upbeat attitude 
and looks on the bright side. A true team player, she challenges 
everyone to find new ways to help others and to go above and beyond in 
serving their members. She takes on every task with grace and optimism, 
and for that her entire team is thankful. Ms. Workman lives in Maybee, 
Michigan with her family.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Jessica 
Workman and in congratulating her for being the recipient of the Unsung 
Heroine Award. We are grateful for her service to our community in 
Wayne County and beyond. We join with Jessica's friends, family, and 
colleagues in thanking her for her tireless work in making our 
community a better place for everyone. Her hard work has not gone 
unnoticed.
