                          HONORING JOHN MURPHY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL H. MICHAUD

                                of maine

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 13, 2011

  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate John Murphy, 
President and CEO of the Maine Credit Union League, on his induction 
into the Credit Union House Hall of Leaders.
  For nearly two decades, John has served as President and CEO of the 
Maine Credit Union League. He has worked diligently on the behalf of 
credit unions for even longer. I have had multiple opportunities to 
work with John on the issues that impact his members and, as a result, 
the people and the economy of Maine, and I have always found him to be 
a dedicated and thoughtful advocate.
  The Credit Union National Association inducted John into the Credit 
Union House Hall of Leaders because he has shown a unique level of 
commitment to ensuring that these vital community institutions are able 
to continue serving the individuals and small businesses that make up 
their customer base. His name will be on permanent display to the 
thousands of individuals that visit the Credit Union House each year. 
John is the first inductee from the State of Maine, and I cannot think 
of a more appropriate individual.
  It has been an honor to work with John in the past, and I have no 
doubt that this recognition in the Hall of Leaders will inspire him to 
continue his advocacy on behalf of credit unions and the people they 
serve. I know that the sixty-four credit unions in Maine, as well as 
their 613,000 members, greatly appreciate John as a resource and as 
their representative fighting for the issues that matter to them.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring John Murphy and 
congratulating him on his induction into the Credit Union House Hall of 
Leaders.
