  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, last month, I attended the retirement 
ceremony of Greg Speed, who was the CEO of Cape Counseling in South 
Jersey. Greg worked in the behavioral health sector for 48 years. He 
served at Cape Counseling Services for 37 years, where he worked as the 
Unit Director of Screening and Specialized Services from 1982 to 1995. 
Then, in 1995, Greg became the Vice President of Mental Health Services 
until 2000 when he became the CEO. At Cape Counseling, his leadership, 
direction, and vision were essential in completing a successful and 
seamless merger between Cape Counseling and Acenda. At Acenda, Greg 
continued his decade-long career and became the Chief Integration 
Officer during the merger. In addition, he also served and chaired 
multiple boards including the Human Services Advisory Committee, the 
Cape Alliance Steering Committee, the Health Community Coalition, and 
the Long-term recovery group after Hurricane Sandy. Greg should be 
proud of his notable career in the behavioral health sector, and I am 
glad I was able to attend his retirement ceremony. God Bless Greg, and 
God Bless our United States of America.
