  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to recognize the numerous 
outstanding contributions of Hassan Jaber to the communities of Wayne 
County, Michigan, as he retires after more than 40 years of service 
from ACCESS.
  During his four decades at ACCESS, Hassan Jaber has been instrumental 
in shepherding its growth and expansion. He has been a leader in 
expanding ACCESS' programming to include more than one hundred 
platforms and ten locations to assist residents across Wayne County and 
southeastern Michigan. Hassan Jaber created partnerships locally and 
nationally to advocate for policy initiatives to fight bigotry, advance 
civil rights, and to create a better quality of life for immigrant and 
other vulnerable populations through

access to human services. With every obstacle, he never wavered in 
leading with compassion and keeping the community at the center of the 
work.
  Hassan Jaber's leadership and forward-thinking approach have 
solidified his legacy as a community leader. In addition to his immense 
positive impact on the communities of Wayne County, he also served on 
many national and community boards, including the U.S. Census National 
Community Advisory Board on Race and Ethnicity and the Michigan Census 
Complete Count Committee; United Way for Southeastern Michigan; the 
Detroit Institute of Arts; and the Detroit Zoological Society. I had 
the honor of working with him for years and his mentorship helped me 
grow into a passionate advocate for my district.
  Please join me in recognizing Hassan Jaber's work on behalf of 
residents of Michigan's 13th district and southeastern Michigan as we 
wish him well on the next chapter in his life.
