                       Tuesday, October 19, 2021

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mark Behan for 
receiving the 32nd Annual J. Walter Juckett Community Service Award 
from the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce.
  Mark Behan was born in Troy, New York, and moved to Glens Falls as a 
child. After graduating from Colgate University, Mr. Behan completed 
executive development programs at the Harvard Business School and the 
Harvard Law School. Following a successful career as a reporter, 
editor, and newspaper executive, Behan founded Behan Communications 
Inc., which counsels a variety of clients in public and community 
relations as well as crisis communications.
  Additionally, Mr. Behan has been actively engaged in serving the 
North Country for decades. For 18 years, Behan was a member and vice 
chair of the Board of Governors of Glens Falls Hospital. He also served 
on the boards of Kelly's Angels Inc., the Glens Falls Foundation, Arrow 
Financial Corp., and many other charitable community organizations. 
Behan recently led the Warren County Hospitality Communications Group 
to enhance the tourism industry in Warren County and is working with 
the Warren County's Economic Recovery Task Force.
  Mark Behan has led a life devoted to service, charity, and 
leadership. It is clear why Mr. Behan was chosen as the recipient of 
the prestigious J. Walter Juckett Community Service Award from the 
Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce. This award is the chamber's 
most distinguished for community service and is named in honor of J. 
Walter Juckett, a remarkable businessman and civic leader. On behalf of 
New York's 21st Congressional District, I would like to congratulate 
Mark on this honor and thank him for his years of service in the North 
Country.
