                        Tuesday, March 10, 2009

  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker:
  Whereas, the Appalachian Leadership Academy was formed in 1998 out of 
a partnership between the Institute for Local Government Administration 
and Rural Development at Ohio University's Voinovich Center for 
Leadership and Public Affairs and the Corporation for Ohio Appalachian 
Development; and
  Whereas, the Academy is designed to help prepare middle management 
employees for leadership roles within their agencies and communities; 
and
  Whereas, the Academy has graduated 170 leaders into Ohio Appalachian 
communities; and
  Whereas, the goal of the Academy is to enhance the knowledge of the 
participants not only in leadership but about the Appalachian Region as 
a whole in order to better prepare them to use their skills in the 
Appalachian communities of Ohio; therefore, be it
  Resolved that along with the friends, alumni of the Academy, and the 
residents of the 18th Congressional District, I commend the Appalachian 
Leadership Academy for their steadfast efforts to offer educational 
leadership opportunities, and congratulate them on their 10th 
anniversary.
