                     CONGRATULATING LEANDREA MIKELL

  (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. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
LeAndrea Mikell, the executive director for government and community 
engagement at Savannah State University for making the annual Georgia 
Trend 40 under 40 list.
  LeAndrea grew up in Hardeeville, South Carolina, right on the other 
side of the river from Savannah. Though she didn't grow up in Savannah 
proper, LeAndrea lives and breathes our city.
  She began her professional life in the city as a student at Savannah 
State University, where she interned for the Savannah Area Chamber of 
Commerce, then went on to work for the Savannah Morning News, then to 
the World Trade Center in Savannah, then back to her alma mater.
  Today, LeAndrea works with students, residents, and elected officials 
to provide better opportunities for young people across the region to 
prepare them for the success they deserve.
  It is citizens like LeAndrea who make Savannah the tight-knit 
community it is. We are so lucky to have such talented people like her 
working to secure a better and brighter future for the students in our 
city.
  I thank Georgia Trend for including her in its 40 under 40 list, and 
to thank LeAndrea for the important work that she does for her 
university and for our city.
