                          HONORING JANET DAVIS

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. LYNN A. WESTMORELAND

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 19, 2010

  Mr. WESTMORELAND. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Janet 
Davis, president and CEO of the TIC Federal Credit Union, who is the 
recipient of the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the 
Georgia Credit Union Affiliates.
  As one news report put it, it takes five pages to list what Janet 
Davis has done for the Columbus area and her profession. Therefore, it 
should come as no surprise that she's the youngest recipient in the 
history of the award.
  Janet has served as president and CEO for 18 years. Her leadership 
has brought tremendous growth and success to the credit union--

including an increase of $152 million in assets during her tenure. In 
fact, TIC is currently the ninth largest credit union in the state. 
This is a real testament to her dedication and ability.
  Janet's own words perfectly sum up what she believes is her greatest 
accomplishment--giving back to her community. Janet said she ``takes 
joy in helping to create a workforce that is in tune with the community 
and its needs.''
  Fortunately, giving back to the community doesn't stop at the end of 
her work day. For Janet, her talents touch many organizations and 
individuals. She has provided leadership for the Rotary Club, Better 
Business Bureau, Columbus Literacy Alliance, Columbus Chamber of 
Commerce, Columbus Partners in Education, Columbus Hospice and Columbus 
State University, her alma mater.
  This award isn't presented annually because it's reserved for an 
individual whose career and leadership stands as the ultimate example 
for others. In that case, there is no better person to receive such an 
award than Janet Davis.
  Because Janet embodies everything that's great about America and 
serves as an example of the kind of folks we need to keep our 
communities strong, I ask the House to join me in congratulating her on 
a distinguished career and sending best wishes for many more years of 
valuable contribution to the Columbus area.
