    EXPRESSING GRATITUDE TO ANN LIMJOCO FOR TWENTY YEARS OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. JANICE D. SCHAKOWSKY

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 8, 2021

  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express my sincere 
thanks and appreciation to Ann Limjoco, a dedicated public servant who 
spent twenty years on my staff assisting constituents of the 9th 
Congressional District of Illinois. Ann will be starting a new chapter 
in the new year, and I wish her success and happiness moving forward.
  Ann served many years as the Suburban Director on my district staff. 
Overseeing my suburban operations, Ann worked closely with 
municipalities from Evanston to Arlington Heights and everywhere in 
between. She built strong relationships with elected officials at all 
levels of government and was a well-known face at events throughout the 
district. When municipalities needed federal assistance or input, they 
knew that Ann was a reliable ally and an open door.
  Ann regularly worked with other members of my staff to organize 
outreach events throughout the 9th District. She played an instrumental 
role in carrying out dozens of hiring events, community resource fairs, 
municipal information events, and many others. Ann often spoke on my 
behalf, representing me with professionalism and competence.
  Ann was my liaison to the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission 
(ONCC), an organization that spent many years working to address and 
alleviate the negative impacts of O'Hare Airport on surrounding 
suburbs. She was a true expert in this field and I relied on her for 
up-to-date information on an issue that many of my constituents deal 
with day in and day out.
  In addition to outreach and relationship building efforts, Ann was a 
vigorous advocate for constituents needing assistance with problems 
related to taxes, immigration, the postal service, and a host of other 
issues. All told, she handled over three thousand constituent cases, 
and I have no doubt that her hard work changed many lives for the 
better. Ann also helped run an excellent intern program and helped 
train and mentor many young people through this program.
  My staff and I will undoubtedly feel the loss of Ann's deep knowledge 
and many years of experience. I have no doubt that Ann will succeed at 
whatever she sets her mind to.
