  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lynette 
M. Brown-Sow for her dedication in the field of healthcare and service 
to the city of Philadelphia. Lynette is a great example how one can use 
their expertise to achieve success while also contributing to the 
community.
  As Vice President for Marketing and Government Relations at Community 
College of Philadelphia, a position she has held since 1995, Lynette 
has engaged communities, businesses, and governments in constructing 
frameworks that promote progress and prosperity. Her outstanding work 
was rewarded in 2009 when she was named Communicator of the Year. 
Lynette has done significant work in the behavioral healthcare field. 
She serves on the board of Directors of the Consortium, which named its 
newest service center the Lynette M. Brown center of hope.
  In 1991, Philadelphia Mayor Edward G. Rendell appointed Lynette 
Deputy Mayor of Administration. In 2007, Lynette co-chaired 
Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter's transition team and was 
appointed as vice-chair of the Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment.
  Lynette is the founder and chairman of the Hardy Williams Education 
Fund, a nonprofit organization that provides support for educational 
endeavors and scholarships for people interested in careers in law, 
government, or social action; and founder of L.M. Brown Management 
Group, a certified minority/female-owned consultant firm.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring Lynette 
M. Brown-Sow for her successful endeavors and major contributions to 
the city of Philadelphia.
