House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Savannah 
business leader David Paddison, recipient of the 2025 Leadership Award 
from the Southeast Georgia Leadership Forum.
  Mr. Paddison serves as the president of Sterling Seacrest Pritchard, 
a private insurance brokerage and employee benefits consulting firm in 
the southeastern United States.
  Not only has David achieved business success during his more than 30-
year career, but he has also advocated for community involvement and 
support of nonprofit organizations.
  As a Savannah native, Mr. Paddison has been a leader on many boards 
within his community. He has served as the chair of the Savannah 
Economic Development Authority, Union Mission, the Armstrong State 
Foundation, and he currently holds numerous other board positions.
  Along with his wife, Jeanne, Mr. Paddison founded the Savannah 
Wildlife Rescue Center to provide rescue and rehabilitation resources 
to the region's animals.
  I sincerely congratulate Mr. Paddison for receiving this honorable 
award and for his outstanding contributions to the Savannah community. 
I congratulate my friend.
