                         Friday, June 24, 2022

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Ellen Kisker. Ellen is an exceptional woman who won the award for Woman 
of Merit from the YWCA St. Joseph Awards Program.
  Ellen served as Director of the Non-Traditional Student Center and 
ADA Coordinator for Missouri Western State University for 24 years. 
While at MWSU, she was honored with the National ANTSHE College Advisor 
of the Year and Northland Regional Excellence in Higher Education 
awards, as well as being awarded the MWSU Presidential Citation under 
two different presidents. After retiring from MWSU, Ellen worked at the 
YWCA for 8 years, where she served in various capacities, ending her 
tenure there as the Family Resources Director. As a hands-on leader, 
she facilitated the Choices/Decisions program, as well as assisted her 
staff in the Encore Plus and Healthy Teen Parents and Healthy Babies 
programs. Since retiring for the second time in 2020, Ellen continues 
to be a strong supporter of the YWCA and serves on the Women of 
Excellence Steering Committee. Ellen's hard work and service to the 
community has been extremely valuable and she is well-deserving of her 
award.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in thanking and 
congratulating Ellen Kisker for winning the Woman in the Workplace 
Leadership award as well as her service to the people of the Sixth 
Congressional District. I am proud to represent Ellen Kisker in the 
United States House of Representatives.
