                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 26, 2017

  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I honor my constituent, Eric Stiles, 
for earning a 2017 Governor's Victim Service Pathfinder Award, 
Pennsylvania's most prestigious award for a victim service professional 
or program.
  Mr. Stiles is a sexual assault survivor who has devoted his career to 
advocacy and activism on behalf of others. At the National Sexual 
Violence Resource Center, Mr. Stiles has helped to develop best 
practices in sexual violence intervention and prevention. He's led 
efforts to support sexual violence victims at all stages of life. His 
colleagues rave about a man who they say ``. . . leads with passion and 
heart for the work, which only grows with his visionary ideas and 
creative outlets for engaging others,'' and who ``. . . has an uncanny 
knack for helping people to move and grow into a better version of 
themselves.''
  As a member of the House Victims' Rights Caucus, and simply as a 
person who empathizes with and prays for the plight of sexual violence 
victims, I'm truly moved by Mr. Stiles' strength and compassion. His 
dedication has touched the lives of countless people and his legacy of 
service to others is exceptional.
