  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Annette 
Morman, a member of the Georgia Municipal Association, the Mitchell 
County Hospital Authority, and a citizen of the Second Congressional 
District of Georgia, which I am privileged to represent.
  Annette Morman is a native of Baconton, Georgia. She attended Dent-
Reynolds Elementary School and graduated from Camilla Consolidated High 
School in 1966. She then furthered her education by attending both the 
Albany Technical College and Albany State University.
  Ms. Morman is a very dedicated woman in many aspects of her life. She 
helps the children of her community through her job as a caseworker for 
the Mitchell County Department of Family and Children Services. For 34 
years, she has guaranteed children in the area are protected and 
receive proper care. She truly epitomizes the motto, ``no child left 
behind.''
  In addition to her service to children throughout the county, Ms. 
Morman leads her community through civic involvement. She has served on 
the Baconton City Council for 14 years in the same seat that her 
father, James E. Morman, once held. While on the council, she has 
served on the Recreation Committee, Budget Committee, and Chaired the 
Grand Opening Dedication of the Jackson Davis House.
  Ms. Morman also serves on the Workforce Investment Board, the 
Mitchell County Democratic Executive Committee, and the Mitchell County 
School Board Facility Committee. Ms. Morman is also a devoted member of 
St. James Missionary Baptist Church, where she has served in numerous 
capacities.
  Ms. Morman is the loving mother of two children: Olivia Dionne Morman 
and Dexter Dwayne Morman and the proud grandmother of five 
grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker I am so pleased to honor this great woman who not only 
exemplifies the qualities of a dedicated activist for children, the 
community, and the church, but also epitomizes everything great about 
the United States of America.
