A TRIBUTE TO DONA ZACZKIEWICZ, THE DELAWARE WOMEN IN BUSINESS ADVOCATE 
                              OF THE YEAR

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 1, 2003

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dona 
Zaczkiewicz, winner of Delaware Women in Business Advocate of the Year 
Award. She is given this honor as president of Dona Z Consulting.
  As you know, advocates for women in business have always been 
extremely important to the economic vitality of each State and to our 
national economy. Small businesses account for the majority of all new 
jobs being created daily, and provide opportunities for millions of 
people to earn a living and provide financial stability for their 
families. Through her work, Dona has distinguished herself and many 
other women business owners in Delaware's small business community.
  Throughout my years in public service I have consistently counted 
Delaware's women owned businesses to be amongst the very best in the 
Country, and recognition of Ms. Zaczkiewicz further confirms my belief.
  Dona Zaczkiewicz's accomplishments and innovative leadership in the 
business community have placed Dona Z Consulting in a position to rise 
above and meet the challenges of the future; I commend her on her 
receipt of this award and I look forward to Ms. Zaczkiewicz's continued 
success.
