  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I 
congratulate Gina Bartlow on

being named ANCOR's 2011 Direct Support Professional of the Year. It is 
truly a prestigious honor to be considered as the best in your field 
and this recognition demonstrates Gina's compassion and commitment, as 
well as all the hard work she does for those with disabilities.
  Throughout her twenty five years of working on behalf of those with 
disabilities, Gina has not only become a trusted and valued employee by 
her supervisors, but a mentor to her coworkers and a friend to the 
people she serves. While her path started at home with her son Steven, 
it quickly extended to others in the community who were lacking the 
help and support they needed to thrive in their everyday lives. The 
spirit and generosity she brings to her work is admirable and sets a 
fine example to others who dedicate their lives to advancing that same 
spirit of kindness.
  I congratulate Gina for receiving this award and for her outstanding 
commitment and leadership on behalf of those with disabilities. I wish 
you all the best for continued success in the future.
