      HONORING SHEILA MEYERS FOR HER DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEPHEN F. LYNCH

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 31, 2022

  Mr. LYNCH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in proud recognition of Sheila 
Meyers, in honor of her distinguished service to the United States 
Postal Service, the United States Congress, and the American people.
  A third-generation postal employee, Sheila began her illustrious 
postal career in 1979 as a Multi-Position Letter Machine Clerk in 
Seattle, Washington and subsequently ascended to critical positions in 
Customer Service, Mailing Requirements, Human Resources, Labor 
Relations, and ultimately, Government Relations--over 42 remarkable 
years of public service. Her enduring commitment to serving and 
advocating in support of our most trusted government institution and 
its dedicated workforce of more than 650,000 employees stands as a 
shining testament to the fundamental mission of the Postal Service to 
``provide postal services to bind the Nation together'' and provide 
``prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas''--
in every American community.
  As a longstanding member of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, I 
can certainly attest to the breadth of experience, knowledge, 
integrity, and talent that Sheila brought to her position as the Postal 
Service's principal committee liaison during our consideration of 
postal reform legislation across several Congresses. To her great 
credit, both Democratic and Republican Members regularly received 
substantive agency briefings that significantly informed our 
understanding of Postal Service operations, services, infrastructure, 
and finances. I remain grateful for the consideration and insight that 
Sheila always extended to my office, and I am proud to have relied on 
her expertise as I joined bipartisan committee leaders in developing 
and enacting H.R.3076, the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022.
  While Sheila may have retired from the Postal Service on April 29, 
2022, I am quite certain that her more than four decades of dedication 
and hard work will be reflected and endure in the agency's service to 
the American people going forward.

  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Sheila on her exceptional career with 
the United States Postal Service and wish her a happy and blessed 
retirement.
