  Mr. COSTA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Chi 
State Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International on the 
occasion of holding their State Conference in Fresno, California, in 
2010.
  Delta Kappa Gamma Society International was founded in 1929 by Dr. 
Annie Webb Glanton with the overriding goal of providing guidance and 
inspiration to women educators in pursuing excellence in their 
professional lives. This service oriented group offers opportunities to 
enhance leadership development for women at local, regional, and 
international levels.
  As an international honorary society of over 107,000 key women 
educators in 16 countries, Delta Kappa Gamma Society mentors women 
educators, provides mutual support and interaction in all educational 
fields at all levels. Delta Kappa Gamma helps women pursuing

professional careers in education by offering financial aid to help 
them attain their graduate education.
  It is truly an honor that Delta Kappa Gamma has selected Fresno, 
California, for their 2010 State Conference. I ask my colleagues to 
join me in recognizing the Chi State Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma 
Society International as they continue to promote excellence in 
education and professional growth in women educators.
