                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 10, 2003

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of Priscilla Incorvaia in 
recognition for her tireless energy and dedication to her community.
  Priscilla grew up on Long Island and attended C.W. Post College where 
she studied Elementary Education and Training Development. After an 
internship at Republic National Bank, she was offered a job in their 
management-training program. During the next fifteen years, Priscilla 
rapidly moved up the ranks and presently is the Branch Manager of the 
Starrett City Office in Brooklyn.
  As far back as Priscilla can remember, she has been involved in 
various community organizations. She feels that it is important to be 
involved in organizations at the grass roots level, especially those 
related to children. She is a firm believer in getting involved in the 
community where she works and is well known in the various boroughs, 
especially Brooklyn.
  Priscilla sits on many advisory boards, including Junior Achievement, 
the YWCA, the Queens Botanical Gardens, and The Noel Pointer 
Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides music lessons for 
gifted underprivileged children where she served as treasurer. She has 
been awarded the Bronze Leadership Award for Leadership and Support and 
the Above and Beyond Service Award for her work in Junior Achievement.
  Priscilla attributes her team spirit to her husband Angelo, a former 
New York Giants lineman.
  Mr. Speaker, Priscilla Incorvaia is devoted to serving her community. 
As such, she is more than worthy of receiving our recognition today and 
I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring this truly remarkable 
woman.
