Month. Each year,

[[Page 3615]]

we pay special tribute to the contributions and sacrifices made by our 
nation's women. It is an honor to pay homage to outstanding women who 
are making a difference in my Congressional District. I would like to 
recognize a remarkable woman, Lynn White-Shelby of Burbank, California.
  Lynn graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University with a major in physical 
education and science, and began her teaching career at Franklin High 
School in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles, California. Ms. White-
Shelby's business career began in the Public Relations Department at 
the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, where she was promptly 
promoted to Secretary to the President, and later as Assistant to the 
President and Assistant Director of the Postgraduate Department, 
developing the first Chiropractic Assistants program. Lynn then went on 
to work at ACCO Engineered Systems in Glendale, California, as 
Secretary to the President, which soon led to a management position as 
their Corporate Insurance and Safety Administrator.
  Ms. White-Shelby is a dedicated volunteer. Upon retirement, she 
jumped right into volunteering at the learning center at the Boys & 
Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley, tutoring at the Main 
Club, and co-teaching a storytelling/acting class at Burbank's 
Roosevelt Elementary School. She is also a devoted and giving member of 
the La Providencia Guild of Children's Hospital Los Angeles, serving on 
numerous committees, working at the Thrift Shop and is currently the 
First Vice President/President Elect. Lynn also served five terms as 
President of the Verdugo-Glen Chapter of the American Business Women's 
Association (ABWA), where she has been a member for over three decades, 
and currently serves as the Education Chair, which awards scholarships 
to women students. In addition, Lynn serves as Vice Chairman on the 
City of Burbank's Senior Citizen Board, and as Secretary on the Boys & 
Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley's Board of Directors.
  I ask all Members to join me in honoring an exceptional woman of 
California's 28th Congressional District, Lynn White-Shelby.
