  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Women Inspiring 
Women Leaders Chapter of American Business Women's Association (ABWA), 
charted in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on July 31, 2021, and to celebrate 
American Business Women's Day.
  ABWA's Women Inspiring Women Leaders Chapter held its first meeting 
on May 22, 2019, with a clear vision: to provide a community for 
businesswomen to grow through networking connections that empower, 
advocate and educate in a diverse atmosphere of meetings and community 
involvement.
  Through their efforts, they have brought together businesswoman from 
a variety of fields, offering opportunities for personal and 
professional growth through mentorship and more.
  I am proud to join them and their sister chapters across our country 
in celebrating 76 years of ABWA and its impact in Fredericksburg, 
Stafford, and Central Virginia.
  I thank the Fredericksburg Women Inspiring Women Leaders Chapter for 
their dedication to uplifting others, and I'm proud to join them in 
celebrating their achievements and ongoing commitment to empowering 
women in business.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
Fredericksburg Women Inspiring Women Leaders Chapter for their lasting 
impact on our communities and their vital contributions to our local 
and national economy.
