                       Tuesday, November 30, 2021

  Mr. HIMES. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor not just a resident 
of Connecticut's 4th Congressional District, but my friend, Barrett 
Burns.
  Barrett is the founding President & CEO of VantageScore Solutions. 
Under Barrett's guidance, VantageScore went from being a startup housed 
in the basement of Barrett's home to a well-recognized national brand.

  Prior to joining VantageScore Solutions, Barrett served as executive 
vice president at U.S. Trust, where he was head of the National Private 
Banking Group and a member of U.S. Trust's Executive Committee, as well 
as a member of the Senior Management Team of U.S. Trust's parent 
company, The Charles Schwab Corporation.
  During his career, Barrett served as a board member and advisor for 
numerous groups. Barrett not only served on the Federal Reserve Board's 
Community Advisory Council and its predecessor, the Consumer Advisory 
Council; he also served as a director of the Homeownership Preservation 
Foundation, as a member of the National Community Reinvestment 
Coalition's Mortgage Finance Collaborative Council, and on the National 
Fair Housing Alliance's Fair Housing Act 50th Anniversary Advisory 
Council.
  As Barrett's career and trajectory indicate, he has always understood 
the capacity of the private sector to improve lives, provide 
opportunity, and open doors. It has been a pleasure to work with 
Barrett and I look forward to seeing the next stage of his remarkable 
journey.
