                        Wednesday, May 19, 2010

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise 
today to congratulate Linda Grant for being named the 2010 Direct 
Support Professional (DSP) of the Year for Louisiana. The American 
Network of Community Options and Resources (ANCOR) recently honored 
Linda with this wonderful recognition.
  As a DSP, Linda works to support people with disabilities through 
community-based services that promote independence and inclusion for 
individuals with intellectual, behavior and other disabilities. This 
award is testament that Linda is a true leader for her work assisting 
those with disabilities to live meaningful and productive lives.
  She is an example of how one person can change the lives of many, and 
I commend Linda for her hard work and dedication to making a positive 
difference in the community. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
Linda Grant for this significant achievement.
