                   IN RECOGNITION OF CHARLOTTE AYERS

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM PRICE

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 15, 2010

  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate 
Charlotte Ayers on her outstanding tenure as the Chief Executive 
Officer of the Georgia's Own Credit Union. After 41 years of service, 
and 11 years at the helm, Mrs. Ayers is retiring from Georgia's Own 
Credit Union.
  When Charlotte Ayers became President and CEO of Georgia's Own Credit 
Union in 1999, she pledged that the Credit Union would be a beacon of 
social and personal responsibility, and vowed it would be the industry 
leader in terms of growth and service. Mrs. Ayers has fulfilled that 
promise to the firm's members and employees, and she is credited with 
transforming the 76-year-old company from a $600 million enterprise in 
1999 when she was named President & CEO to over $1.5 billion today. 
Mrs. Ayers has worked closely with the Board of Directors and 
management teams to develop innovative, convenient, and value-packed 
products and services to the members of Georgia's Own.
  Amid economic turmoil for many of our nation's financial 
corporations, Mrs. Ayers has dedicated her leadership to ensuring her 
company is doing the best by its members. Charlotte's legacy will be 
building one of the most trusted financial institutions in the state. 
Her hard work and dedication will be greatly missed.
