                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 24, 2011

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to commemorate Dr. Lee Ann 
Nutt and her service as a longtime leader and champion of community 
college initiatives at North Central Texas College. Dr. Nutt, who has 
served as the provost of NCTC's Corinth Campus and as the face of the 
university for over 10 years, will begin the next chapter of her career 
as the Vice President of Instruction at the Tomball Campus of Lone Star 
College.
  Dr. Nutt's educational expertise comes from both the public and 
private sectors, including service as the Director of Education at the 
New Mexico Health Care Association, various administrative positions, 
and college-level teaching experience at Texas Tech University and 
Lubbock Christian University. Her strong professional background and 
leadership abilities have not only enabled her to serve North Central 
Texas College, but also the community that surrounds it. She serves on 
the Board of Directors of the United Way of Denton County as well as 
the Denton Chamber of Commerce, and has been actively involved with the 
Family Resource Center of Denton County and Presbyterian Hospital. In 
addition, Dr. Nutt previously served on the 26th Congressional District 
Academy Board, providing professional advice on my selection of 
outstanding students to attend the U.S. Service Academies.
  It is an honor to have the opportunity to represent North Central 
Texas College and the many individuals, like Dr. Nutt, who work to 
educate our young people in the 26th District of Texas. I would like to 
thank Dr. Nutt for her valuable contributions to the Denton County 
community and wish her the best of luck as she continues to positively 
impact the lives and futures of students throughout the State of Texas.
