                            HON. LOIS CAPPS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 4, 2000

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, today I bring to the attention of my 
colleagues the outstanding work of Dr. David K. Winter. On Sunday, 
December 3, David received the Distinguished Community Service Award 
from the Anti-Defamation League. As someone who has worked closely with 
the ADL in its efforts to promote tolerance and combat hatred and 
prejudice, I am pleased that this prominent organization has chosen to 
honor David.
  David has served as president of Westmont College in Santa Barbara 
for the past 24 years. As president, he has given his leadership to a 
number of organizations within American higher education. He has served 
on the boards of the National Association of Independent Colleges and 
Universities, the Council of Independent Colleges, and the Council for 
Higher Education Accreditation, where he served as the board's director 
for 3 years. In a survey of higher education officials and scholars who 
study the college presidency, David is one of the 100 most effective 
college leaders in the United States.
  During his presidency, David has provided leadership in connecting 
Westmont College to the local community. He is very active in local 
organizations, serving as the director of the Montecito Association, 
the Montecito Rotary Club, the Channel City Club, the Santa Barbara 
Chamber of Commerce, and St. Vincent's school. He has also chaired the 
board of the Salvation Army Hospitality House, the Santa Barbara 
Industry Education Council, and the Santa Barbara County United Way 
Campaign, and served as vice chair of the Cottage Hospital board of 
directors.
  Among the many awards and honors that David has received are the 
Santa Barbara Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse 1998 ``Twelve Men of 
Distinction,'' the Santa Barbara News-Press 1998 Lifetime Achievement 
Award, and in 1999 he was honored by the John Templet on Foundation as 
one of the 50 college presidents who have exercised leadership in 
character development.
  David is a frequent contributor to journals and speaker on the topic 
of the educational experience of undergraduate students, and issues of 
diversity and multiculturalism. I believe that David's service to his 
community is an example for our nation, and I am proud of his 
accomplishments.
