                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 20, 2021

  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Barbara Ziarko who has been selected as the Michigan Municipal League's 
2021-2022 Vice President.
  Barbara has been a Sterling Heights resident for forty-two years and 
has given much of her time and talent to the community, including 
serving as a member of the Sterling Heights City Council for twenty 
years. She was a Macomb Foundation Athena Award nominee, which helps to 
demonstrate her exemplary leadership and community service. Throughout 
the years, Barbara has been deeply involved with numerous community 
organizations, including serving as co-coordinator for the Macomb 
County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team at St. Blase Catholic Community, 
as a committee member of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life 
event in Sterling Heights for five years, as a member of the Regina 
High School Board of Directors for seven years, and as a member of the 
American Polish Century Club Ladies Auxiliary.
  In her new role with the Michigan Municipal League, Barbara has 
pledged to work on the organization's ongoing community wealth building 
and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. I have no doubt that the 
remarkable leadership she has displayed in Sterling Heights will 
benefit the entire State of Michigan.
  I am truly proud to have the honor of recognizing Barbara Ziarko as 
she takes on this important role for the Michigan Municipal League in 
2021-22. I invite my colleagues to join me in offering her, and the 
Michigan Municipal League, very best wishes for a successful year 
ahead.
