                     TRIBUTE TO KATHERINE McCORMICK

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO

                            of west virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 28, 2014

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the American 
Network of Community Options and Resources recipient of the 2014 Direct 
Support Professional of the Year for the state of West Virginia, 
Katherine McCormick. This decoration is truly an honor to receive, as 
it has been awarded annually for the past seven years to individuals in 
each state who exemplify the values of the organization.
  The American Network of Community Options and Resources was founded 
in 1970 as a national association of seven-hundred private providers 
that help support more than a half million Americans with disabilities 
in communities. On May 6, 2014 Katherine was recognized for her 
outstanding leadership which set her apart from her peers in supporting 
those with disabilities in all aspects of life.
  Without Katherine's commitment to enriching the lives of others, many 
West Virginians would be unable to function effectively in society. Mr. 
Speaker, the state of West Virginia owes Katherine McCormick and the 
men and women like her a debt of gratitude. I am honored to call 
Katherine a fellow West Virginian.
