        CONGRATULATING THE AMERICAN BUSINESS WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I would like to congratulate the 
American Business Women's Association, ABWA, which will be holding 
their 2008 National Women's Leadership Conference in Covington, KY. For 
nearly 60 years the ABWA has identified and addressed the needs of 
working women. Local ABWA chapters continuously contribute to the 
professional development of their members through educational programs, 
along with charitable opportunities, networking, and scholarships. The 
national scholarships sponsored by ABWA have helped thousands of women 
meet their educational goals.
  With several Kentucky and Ohio chapters and networks sponsoring this 
year's conference, over 1,000 women from around the country are 
expected to attend. In addition to meeting distinguished speakers, 
members will attend seminars and workshops on professional development, 
industry trends and techniques to improve their job skills.
  By improving the lives of women for more than a half century, the 
American Business Women's Association has proven itself to be an 
exemplary professional development organization. I congratulate the 
ABWA for its success in supporting the dreams of working women and 
welcome their national conference to Kentucky.
