  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Diane 
Fitzpatrick, Chief Executive Officer of the Boys & Girls Club of 
Manchester, for being named Executive of the Year by the Nation's over 
1000 clubs. This award is determined by the Professional Association of 
Boys & Girls Clubs and by Diane's peers throughout the country. As the 
Executive of the Year, Diane has been recognized for her significant 
impact on the Manchester community and the youth development profession 
at a local, regional, and national level.
  As CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Manchester, Diane works with 
staff, the board of trustees, and community members to serve children 
and families across the city. With over 30 years of experience in 
higher education, marketing, and business development, Diane has 
pursued a bold and innovative vision for the Boys & Girls Club since 
she joined the organization in 2014. In this role, Diane oversees 
strategic planning, fundraising, community relations, and partnership 
development.
  She is widely regarded by staff as an indispensable leader and among 
the broader New Hampshire community as critical to the advancement of 
children's issues. I commend Diane for winning this prestigious award 
and will continue to support her work to help youth reach their full 
potential.
  I look forward to seeing what Diane will accomplish for the 
Manchester community in the years to come, and I am confident she will 
continue to uplift kids and families in our district. On behalf of all 
the constituents of New Hampshire's First Congressional District, I 
applaud Diane for her commendable leadership, and wish her success in 
future endeavors.
