                        TRIBUTE TO ANNETTE LEAHY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 10, 2002

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Annette Leahy for 
her four years of outstanding service to Marlborough Hospital and the 
Marlborough Community.
  Mrs. Leahy has been an active member of the community going above and 
beyond what her job required her to do. She served as a member of the 
Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Tri-Country United Way, the 
Marlborough Rotary Club, and the Boys and Girls Club. Additionally, 
Mrs. Leahy has volunteered at the local food pantry.
  Mrs. Leahy holds degrees from Central Connecticut State University, 
University of Hartford and the Hartford Graduate Center. Her 
professional career brought her to Rockville General Hospital, where 
she served as Vice President for Planning and Administration, Chief 
Operating Officer, and Senior Vice President of Integrated Health 
Services.
  Since 1998, Mrs. Leahy has been President of the Marlborough Hospital 
where she oversaw major renovations and expansions, allowing for 
expanded community outreach programs. In her honor, Marlborough 
Hospital has named a former lobby the ``Annette Leahy Conference Room'' 
to commemorate her achievements.
  Mr. Speaker, I am certain that the entire U.S. House of 
Representatives joins me in congratulating Mrs. Annette Leahy for her 
stellar work at Marlborough Hospital, and wishes her best of luck as 
her career continues beyond Marlborough Hospital.
