  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge Linda Lynch 
for 29 years of service as the Brentwood City Community Relations 
Director. Her hard work and dedication to excellence has helped our 
city grow exponentially. Through her position she was able to bring 
members of Brentwood, Tennessee, around special causes and efforts.
  Linda Lynch was born in Leipers Fork, Tennessee, and was raised in 
Franklin, Tennessee. She taught in Memphis, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. 
She also supported her husband who ran a transportation company before 
she took on her role in Brentwood.

  As a liaison, she was instrumental in building bridges between 
residents and government. This was accomplished by how she planned 
events for the city. By doing so, government officials could hear the 
needs and concerns of the people and the community was heard by their 
leaders. Linda also played a major role in the education of historical 
sites and advocated for preservation of historic places. Outside of her 
regular duties she took the initiative and founded the Brentwood 
Historic Commission. Linda was also involved with the Brentwood Tree 
Board, the Adopt a Mile Program, and the Brentwood Library. She is also 
a lifetime member of the Williamson County Heritage Foundation.
  Linda Lynch has left the city of Brentwood, Tennessee, a better place 
than when she first started in her role. I ask my colleagues to join me 
in honoring her service and commitment to the city of Brentwood, 
Tennessee.
