  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a leader in my 
district, James J. Veneruso, who has been actively involved in a wide 
array of professional and community organizations for many years.
  A former Adjunct professor at Iona College and the College of Mount 
Saint Vincent, Mr. Veneruso served as the Editor of the Delaware 
Corporate Law Review and the Westchester County Law Journal, the 
President of the John Marshall Honor Society, and was on the founding 
Board of Editors of the Pace Law Review. He is admitted to practice law 
in New York and Florida, and is now the managing partner of the law 
firm of Veneruso, Curto, Schwartz & Curto, LLP located in Yonkers, New 
York.
  In addition to his professional developments, Mr. Veneruso serves on 
the Board of Trustees of Saint Joseph's Medical Center, as legal 
counsel and Board member of Habitat for Humanity of Westchester, and as 
a member of Yonkers Partners in Education, Inc., and the Italian 
American Forum. He currently serves on the Business Development Board 
of Sterling National bank, and actively served on the Board of the 
Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation.
  Mr. Veneruso lives in Yonkers with his wife, Lillian. They have three 
children and four grandchildren. The surrounding community has 
recognized and celebrated Mr. Veneruso's contributions to the area with 
countless honors. He has been recognized as the Most Socially Conscious 
Attorney by the Westchester County Bar Association and the Westchester 
Business Journal, and has received the ``American Dream Award'' by the 
Habitat for Humanity of Westchester.
  This year Saint Joseph's Medical Center is honoring Mr. Veneruso with 
the 2015 Outstanding Service Award. I want to congratulate Mr. Veneruso 
on this honor and thank him for his contributions to our community's 
continued growth and success.
