AnnMarie T. Muna on being named the U.S. Small Business 
Administration's 2008 Women in Business Champion of the Year for Guam.
  AnnMarie is dynamic businesswoman and an inspiration to Guam's small 
businesses. After working in the insurance industry for 13 years, she 
leveraged her expertise by forming her own company in 1994, AM 
Insurance (Access to Markets for Insurance/AMI). In business for nearly 
15 years now, AM Insurance has become one of the leading brokers in the 
region with an extensive portfolio of government, commercial, and 
personal insurance accounts.
  AnnMarie's community contributions have benefited many non-profit 
organizations including Soroptimist International of the Marianas, 
American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, and SCID Kid Foundation. 
She has contributed her time and her energy to help these organizations 
raise the funds they need to fulfill their missions, and in doing so, 
she has helped to improve our community.
  I commend AnnMarie for the expertise she brings to Guam's insurance 
market and for her efforts to grow Guam's small businesses. The success 
of her businesses, AM Insurance and Y'Ma'gas, Inc., are an inspiration 
to young women in our community. I congratulate her today for her 
accomplishments and for being named the U.S. Small Business 
Administration's 2008 Women in Business Champion of the Year for Guam.
