[Congressional Record Volume 160, Number 81 (Wednesday, May 28, 2014)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E854] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] TRIBUTE TO KATHERINE McCORMICK ______ HON. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO of west virginia in the house of representatives Wednesday, May 28, 2014 Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the American Network of Community Options and Resources recipient of the 2014 Direct Support Professional of the Year for the state of West Virginia, Katherine McCormick. This decoration is truly an honor to receive, as it has been awarded annually for the past seven years to individuals in each state whom exemplify the values of the organization. The American Network of Community Options and Resources was founded in 1970 as a national association of seven-hundred private providers that help support more than a half million of Americans with disabilities in communities. On May 6, 2014 Katherine was recognized for her outstanding leadership which set her apart from her peers in supporting those with disabilities in all aspects of life. Without Katherine's commitment to enriching the lives of others, many West Virginians would be unable to function effectively in society. Mr. Speaker, the state of West Virginia owes Katherine McCormick and the men and women like her a debt of gratitude. I am honored to call Katherine a fellow West Virginian. ____________________
