                         RECOGNIZING NICK ELLIS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Wayne 
County school system's Nick Ellis for his induction into the Boys & 
Girls Clubs Hall of Fame.
  Nick has been working with the Boys & Girls Clubs for 16 years. After 
graduating high school in 2006, Nick began working with the Boys & 
Girls Clubs of Altamaha Area as a volunteer, then as a unit director, 
before rising to board membership. Today, he also serves as the area's 
chief volunteer officer.
  Throughout his time with the club, Nick has been a positive influence 
in the lives of countless children, providing support and leadership to 
those in need.
  Nick also serves his community as a law enforcement officer with the 
Jesup Police Department. In his 12 years with the department, Nick has 
risen through the ranks and currently serves as patrol division 
commander.
  In 2020, Governor Brian Kemp recognized Nick's efforts in law 
enforcement and appointed Nick to serve on the Georgia Board of Public 
Safety.
  A passionate volunteer dedicated to helping his community beyond his 
professional career, Nick Ellis is a shining example of leadership and 
guidance for everyone. He is fully deserving of this hall of fame 
induction honor.
