  Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month. Each year, we pay special tribute to the contributions and 
sacrifices made by our Nation's women. It is an honor to pay homage to 
outstanding women who are making a difference in my Congressional 
District. I would like to recognize a remarkable woman, Courtney Morris 
of Atwater Village, a unique neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
  Originally from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Ms. Morris received a 
Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Media Production from Emerson College in 
Boston, Massachusetts. Since 2010, Ms. Morris has been a resident of 
California. While Ms. Morris has moved a few times over the past few 
years, she has remained within the same eight block area in and around 
Atwater Village.
  Ms. Morris served on the Atwater Village Neighborhood Council for 
four consecutive terms and was Board Co-Chair for nearly nine years. 
Passionate about community service and engagement, Ms. Morris was 
instrumental in organizing several events during her board tenure. She 
organized the Atwater Village Car Show and was part of the planning 
committees for the Equestrian District Open House, Movie Nights, Trick 
or Treat on the Boolevard, and Summer Nights on the Boulevard.
  Although Ms. Morris is no longer an Atwater Village Neighborhood 
Council board member, she continues to Co-Chair the Atwater Village 
Tree Lighting Committee and is also a member of the Atwater Village 
Neighborhood Council Equine Committee. An avid animal lover, Ms. Morris 
often rescues cats and dogs and serves the Neighborhood Council as the 
Animal Services Liaison.
  When not volunteering in her community, Ms. Morris is part of the 
Warner Bros. Discovery Talent Management Team. She has over ten years 
of experience in working with talent as a Casting Director for 
unscripted programming and branded content.
  Ms. Morris is married to her husband, Matthew Weil, and together they 
have a daughter, Isla, and four rescue dogs.
  I ask all Members to join me in honoring this exceptional, well-
respected woman of California's 28th Congressional District, Courtney 
Morris.
