            CONGRATULATING TAMI HANCE-LEHR ON HER RETIREMENT

  (Ms. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Tami 
Hance-Lehr, a pillar in Nevada's nonprofit and education community and 
a dear friend of mine, on her well-earned retirement.
  Tami has over three decades of leadership and the last 9 years as 
president of Communities in Schools, an organization that is near and 
dear to me. Communities in Schools of Nevada serves more than 100,000 
students in 117 high-needs schools across our State, providing students 
with a one-on-one relationship with a caring adult to remove barriers 
and help students stay in school.
  Under Tami's leadership, Communities in Schools experienced 
unprecedented growth. She expanded the reach of CIS and made a lifelong 
impact on thousands of students across the State.
  Throughout her career, Tami has helped prove that when young people 
have the support they need, they can achieve anything. I thank Tami for 
her dedication and belief in students. As she steps into retirement, I 
know that her passion for serving others will remain.
