  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Dixie Sue 
Allsbrook who has voluntarily served the National Committee of Employer 
Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESRG) for 20 years, and serving the 
past 5 years as the Chair of the Nevada ESGR.
  Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESRG) is a grass roots 
volunteer organization working with the Department of Defense. ESGR 
provides free education, consultation, and mediation as necessary for 
employers of Guard and Reserve employees.

ESGR's goal is to support America's employers who share their employees 
with the Nation to ensure our national security.
  In her 20 years volunteering with the ESRG, Dr. Dixie Sue Allsbrook 
has served in many different areas of the organization. She began in 
California as an Area Chair, Ombudsman, and ultimately she served as 
Executive Director there. When she moved to Nevada she continued to 
serve ESGR as an ombudsman until she was appointed as Chair in 2002. 
Her amazing work in the community extends beyond that of the ESGR and 
includes the Equal Opportunity Board of Clark County, the Susan B. 
Komen Foundation, and the Wardley Charity Foundation.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Dr. Dixie Sue Allsbrook. Her 
commitment to supporting Nevada's Guard and Reserve through her work 
with the ESRG is outstanding, and I thank her for continuing efforts.
