congratulate

[[Page 18977]]

Pauline Sherrer of Crossville, Tennessee, on her succession as 
President of the Tennessee Press Association. Pauline will join a long 
line of talented and dedicated journalism professionals in taking the 
helm of the TPA.
  Pauline's family has long been an integral part of the Tennessee 
media. In 1981, the Sherrer family purchased the Crossville Chronicle, 
the hometown paper of Cumberland County. Pauline maintained her role as 
publisher of the Chronicle through two sales of the paper, providing 
the people of Cumberland County with fair and accurate reporting on the 
issues that affect them most. Loved by the Chronicle staff and lauded 
by her peers, Sherrer's leadership has set a standard for meeting the 
needs of readers.
  With over 36 years of experience with the press and now as the first 
woman to hold a position on all three of Tennessee's press association 
boards, Pauline is a model for young women and anyone interested in a 
career in journalism. A mother and a grandmother, business leader and 
volunteer, Pauline serves her work, family and community with her 
strong voice and will.
  It is my privilege to congratulate and honor Pauline Sherrer for her 
work, service and commitment, and to welcome her as the new President 
of our State's Press Association.
