  Mr. HUFFMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Linda 
Jacobs upon her 20-year anniversary as Chief Executive Officer of the 
Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership (CVNL).
  Over the past 20 years, Linda has directed CVNL through significant 
growth, encouraging nonprofit development and volunteerism by 
empowering local communities, bolstering leadership, and championing 
innovation throughout the Bay Area. With 26 years of Executive Director 
experience and over 40 years as a leader in the nonprofit space, Linda 
brings a unique depth of knowledge in nonprofit governance and board 
development that has propelled CVNL through multiple mergers.
  Linda has served on numerous boards throughout her prolific career, 
including on Marin County's School to Career Partnership Board of 
Directors and nationally for the Points of Light Global Network 
Affiliate Assembly.
  Linda is the powerhouse behind the scenes of CVNL, working tirelessly 
to develop effective and strong nonprofit leadership throughout the 
North Bay and extended region. Her work to elevate others and create 
monumental and positive impact through nonprofit leadership is renowned 
and appreciated by numerous colleagues, her staff, and the many 
nonprofits she serves.
  Linda's commitment to the Bay Area community has been, and will 
continue to be, productive and enduring. Madam Speaker, I respectfully 
ask that you join me in expressing gratitude to Linda for her enduring 
commitment to public service and extending heartfelt congratulations on 
her 20th anniversary with the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit 
Leadership, and best wishes for years to come.
