  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Kim Ulmer of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Kim is active in the community 
through her work and has been chosen to receive the YWCA Women of 
Excellence Award for Woman in Support Services.
  Kim has been an administrative assistant for 20 years, working with 
the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce for five years. In a responsible, 
efficient way, she has helped her organization become recognized as one 
of the best in its industry in this nation. She is always looking for 
ways to improve the process, makes sure projects get done, and works to 
see that everyone in the office succeeds. This fun-loving team player 
is known as the ``resident counselor'' who draws others to her as a 
listening ear. She creates a welcoming atmosphere for both co-workers 
and volunteers. Kim also inspires co-workers as she oversees care for a 
stepson who was severely injured in an accident. She is married, has 
three children, two stepchildren, and four grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Kim Ulmer. 
She has made an amazing impact on countless individuals in the St. 
Joseph Community. I am honored to represent her in the United States 
Congress.
