                        Thursday, April 14, 2022

  Mrs. WALORSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the remarkable 
service of Becky Zaseck as she retires after dedicating 36 years to 
REAL Services. In nearly four decades, Becky touched the lives of 
countless Hoosiers across our region.
  Based in South Bend, REAL Services provides programs that promote 
nutrition, self-sufficiency, education, and protection for 30,000 
people in northern Indiana each year. As President and CEO of REAL 
Services since 2007, Becky has been instrumental in leading this robust 
organization as it administers more than 25 programs and serves 12 
counties across northern Indiana.
  Before taking the helm of REAL Services, Becky directed the agency's 
work to serve older Hoosiers for 17 years. In 1986, she first began her 
career at REAL Services as a program consultant with the state of 
Indiana helping to establish the organization's family development 
program, which helps families become financially self-sufficient.
  Becky is truly a leader in her field and has served as a role model 
for so many in Indiana and beyond. Her legacy of compassionate service 
and expertise is widespread. In past years, Becky was a delegate to the 
White House Conference on Aging, and she served as a member of the 
Indiana Commission on Autism.
  In recognition of her amazing accomplishments, Becky has received the 
Sagamore of the Wabash Award from Governor O'Bannon, the Trailblazer 
Award by the Indiana Commission on Women, the YWCA's Woman of the Year, 
the Hoosier of Distinction Award from Governor Daniels, the Athena 
Award from the Chamber of Commerce, and Distinguished Alumnus from 
Leadership South Bend/Mishawaka, among many other recognitions.
  Becky is a cherished community leader who has dedicated her life to 
serving the vulnerable. As she looks ahead to the next chapter, I thank 
Becky for her servant leadership and for her steadfast commitment to 
our neighbors. On behalf of Indiana's Second Congressional District, it 
is my privilege to honor Becky Zaseck for her vast contributions to our 
region and wish her all the best in the years ahead.
