RODNEY ALEXANDER of louisiana in the house of representatives Thursday, December 2, 2010 Mr. ALEXANDER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to applaud Greg Gormanous for his exceptional service to the Alexandria community on the occasion of his retirement. His staunch support of both the citizens of Alexandria and his students at Louisiana State University-Alexandria is admirable and deserving of appreciation. Upon his retirement, Greg was the longest serving administrator in the history of LSU-Alexandria, where he served as Behavioral and Social Sciences Chair and the Liberal Arts Division Head and was an avid backer of four-year degree programs. Among his many accomplishments at the university, Greg helped establish three endowed student scholarships as well as initiate theatre and travel courses and the lecture series. In addition to his work in academia, Greg is a strong advocate for the betterment of Alexandria by serving the public as a government liaison. He continues to be a driving force in the community for his committed leadership on various business, civic, educational and governmental boards and committees, such as the Rotary Club of Alexandria, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Mardi Gras Association, the Rapides Primary Health Care Center, and the March of Dimes to name a few. He is also a licensed psychologist and his extensive research has been published in numerous publications. Through his endeavors, both professional and volunteer, Greg has earned the respect and regard of all those with whom he has served and the gratitude of the people that have come to know him. Please join me in extending best wishes to Greg upon his retirement and wishing him future success in all his efforts. ____________________
