  Mr. STANTON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life and legacy 
of Dana Campbell Saylor, a dedicated Phoenix community advocate and 
personal friend.
  From her early years as a student at Arizona State University, Dana 
knew she wanted to dedicate her life to fighting for social justice--
especially on issues related to women's equality. She quickly 
established herself in the greater Phoenix area as a fierce advocate 
for the vulnerable and underserved, sitting on countless boards, 
councils, and commissions to channel her passion for public service.
  Throughout the years, Dana served four Arizona Governors, two Phoenix 
Mayors, and several ASU administrators in varying capacities to help 
address community issues. She used her advisory positions to propose, 
pass, and implement legislation to enhance the lives of women, 
children, and veterans.
  Many in the Phoenix community know Dana best for her role as CEO of 
the Maricopa County YWCA. She was a firm believer and role model of 
their mission to empower women, stand against racism, and promote 
peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. As CEO, she focused her 
efforts on transforming the organization into the impactful entity it 
is today. She established the YWCA as a 501c4 for advocacy, created the 
YWCA Metropolitan Women's Forum, and acted as YWCA Board Chair for the 
Pacific Region for several years.
  Throughout her lifetime, Dana was recognized with several highly 
esteemed honors and awards such as the NAWBO Visionary Award, the West 
Valley Mover and Shaker award, the YWCA Dorthy Willey Award, and an 
induction into the Phoenix Union Alumni Hall of Fame.
  Dana continued to serve others until her passing on May 13, 2024. She 
will be dearly missed, but her legacy in Phoenix will endure through 
the countless lives she touched. Godspeed.
