                      HONORING BRENDA D. WILLIAMS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE QUIGLEY

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 16, 2009

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Brenda D. Williams for 
her many years of service and dedication to the U.S. Postal Service. On 
October 31, 2009, after 36 years, Brenda retired from her position as 
Customer Relations/Congressional Liaison for the Chicago District.
  Ms. Williams began her career working in the old Chicago Main Post 
Office Building as a Tour 1 Scheme Qualified/Distribution Clerk. Her 
hard work and dedication earned her a position in the Regional Office 
and secretary to the Manager.
  After five short years, Ms. Williams was transferred to the Computer 
Forwarding Site to help train all new clerks. Due to her experience and 
knowledge of the postal system, Brenda soon became a valuable asset to 
all CFS Managers. Her institutional knowledge helped ease the 
transitions of six managers, ensuring that operations never missed a 
beat.
  In 1995, Brenda moved to the Consumer Affairs Department, where she 
stayed until 2001, when she was transferred to the Congressional 
Office.
  Brenda always went above and beyond to provide assistance to those 
who were unable to access alternate means of assistance, both in the 
public sector and as a congressional liaison. She calmly dealt with 
many difficult circumstances.
  Ms. Williams has helped the Postal System in other ways, as well. She 
has served on numerous committees, including: Multicultural Day, 
Federal Employee of the Year, Postmaster Installations, Stamp 
Unveilings, Congressional Briefings, Santa Letters and Employee 
Recognition Day. In all areas, Brenda's expertise proved invaluable.
  Madam Speaker, I join with all of my colleagues in congratulating 
Brenda D. Williams on her retirement and wish her continued happiness 
in the future.
