                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 28, 2022

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Nancy 
Goldberg upon her retirement as Board President of the Rhoda Goldman 
Plaza assisted living facility in San Francisco and more than 50 years 
of nonprofit service.
  As Board President, Nancy has steered Rhoda Goldman Plaza through a 
difficult three years, demonstrating impeccable leadership and 
ingenuity as assisted living facilities throughout the country 
navigated unprecedented challenges and worked to establish a new normal 
related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The residents and staff fared 
relatively well through this trying time under the guidance of strong 
management. This work caps off half a century of advocacy on behalf of 
the Jewish community and tireless efforts to combat human trafficking 
and domestic violence.
  Nancy has served on numerous boards throughout her prolific career, 
including as a member of the American Jewish Congress, President of the 
Jewish Family and Children's Services of San Francisco, and Chair of 
the Jewish Public Affairs Committee of California. For her outstanding 
leadership and advocacy on behalf of the Jewish community in 
California, the Jewish Community Relations Council awarded her both the 
Earl Raab Award in 2009 and Tom Lantos Memorial Humanitarian Award in 
2011 in conjunction with her husband, the late Larry Goldberg.
  Dedicating years to fighting human trafficking, Nancy is Co-founder 
of the Jewish Coalition to End Human Trafficking and Co-founder and 
first Co-chair of the San Francisco Collaborative Against Human 
Trafficking (SFCAHT), coordinated by the National Council of Jewish 
Women (NCJW). For this transformative work she earned the SFCAHT's 
Inspiring Leadership Award in 2019 and NCJW's Hannah G. Solomon Award 
in 2014. Although she is retiring as President from Rhoda Goldman 
Plaza, her volunteer pursuits are ongoing.
  Nancy's contributions to improving the quality of live for countless 
individuals throughout the region through public service and 
philanthropy has been, and will continue to be, productive and 
enduring. Madam Speaker, I respectfully ask that you join me in 
expressing gratitude to Nancy for her enduring commitment to public 
service and extending best wishes for years to come.
