                       TRIBUTE TO MARCY TUBLISKY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GARY L. ACKERMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 3, 1999

  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Marcy 
Tublisky, Executive Director of the Hauppauge Industrial Association, 
who is being honored on February 9, 1999, by the members of the HIA on 
the occasion of her 10th year of service to them.
  Marcy's career is reminiscent of many success stories in the manner 
of our great American tradition.
  Marcy Tublisky began her working life as an Elementary School Teacher 
in the Bronx, but she did not rest when the school bell rang to end the 
day. Through her extensive years as a volunteer, she served the PTA as 
its President, gave her time as Pink Lady at St. John's Hospital, and 
was appointed to the Small Business Advisory Council. Marcy is an 
alumna of the Citizens Police Academy, and a member of the Suffolk 
County Police Reserves. In addition, she has received the Distinguished 
Business Leaders Award from the March of Dimes.
  Since 1989, she embraced the challenge of Executive Director for the 
Hauppauge Industrial Association. Under her tenacious, caring and 
committed leadership, the membership has more than doubled.
  She has led this organization and its members into partnerships with 
outside agencies to establish programs that not only have proven 
beneficial to the HIA membership and their families, but also have 
enabled them to expand their companies nationally and globally. She is 
very proud of her membership involvement in HIA's 17 active committees 
and partnerships with schools, police departments, ambulance corps, and 
charitable organizations.
  Under her watchful eye, the HIA planted the seed for the nation's 
first intergenerational day care in an industrial park. She embarked on 
this venture in 1989, and with a handful of volunteers developed and 
realized her dream. Today, that day-care program has more than 100 
participants.
  Concentrating on providing the best she could for the membership, she 
encouraged and convinced the Suffolk County Police Department to place 
a defibrillator in the Park's police sector car, and to establish a 
medical emergency police vehicle to provide immediate assistance to the 
victims of emergency situations in the Industrial Park.
  Marcy is a life-long resident of Long Island, where she lives today 
with Mark, her husband of 35 years. Her pride and joy are her two 
daughters: Ilyse, a Physical Therapist at South Side Hospital, and 
Beth, a health-care consultant for Price Waterhouse.
  A person is truly judged successful if she is able to bring about 
positive change that enhances and broadens the lives of others. 
Clearly, Marcy fulfills this notable standard.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues in the House of Representatives 
to join me now in saluting Marcy Tublisky for her outstanding 
leadership, creativity and commitment, and to extend our best wishes 
and congratulations as she is honored by the members of the Hauppauge 
Industrial Association.
