                      Thursday, September 21, 2023

  Ms. SPANBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the work of the 
Women Inspiring Women Leaders chapter of the American Business Women's 
Association (ABWA) in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
  ABWA's Women Inspiring Women Leaders Chapter held its first meeting 
on May 22, 2019. Since then, the organization has provided 
opportunities for local business leaders to network, empower one 
another, and focus on growing Virginia's economy.
  Entrepreneurship is a defining characteristic of the American spirit. 
That's why I am proud to join them and their sister chapters in 
celebrating American Business Women's Day.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
Fredericksburg Women Inspiring Women Leaders Chapter for their 
commitment to service, innovation, and empowering women in the business 
community. It is an honor to celebrate American Business Women's Day 
alongside them.
