Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ana McCune van de Velde for being named a Woman of Achievement by the Kappa Foundation. Mrs. McCune has distinguished herself through her leadership and community involvement. [[Page E818]] The Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti-Inkster Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was established on December 6, 1958. The organization was founded in order to foster relationships between Michigan Kappa Alpha Psis, provide leadership to current students at Michigan universities and mentor youth in suburban Detroit. Since its founding, group members have come together to serve the local community in a variety of ways including golf tournaments, college fairs, pancake breakfasts, Meals on Wheels programs and robust scholarship programming. In addition to their myriad civic endeavors, the fraternity honors female leaders in southeast Michigan annually at their ``Women of Achievement'' event. This year's honorees include Ana McCune van de Velde, a well regarded leader in southeast Michigan. A lifelong Midwesterner, Mrs. McCune moved to Michigan after graduating from college. She is an accomplished entrepreneur and businesswoman, serving at various companies including AT&T Corporation, New Detroit and the Automotive Strategy Corporation. Although she is an accomplished leader in the private sector, Mrs. McCune's real passion lies in civic work, specifically children's education. She sponsors the Pink Panthers, an all-girls robotics team in Detroit and has served on the Indiana University Alumni Association Executive Council. Her distinguished career and philanthropic engagement has bettered countless industries and individuals and we are grateful for her commitment to southeast Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ana McCune van de Velde for being named one of The Kappa Foundation's Women of Achievement. Mrs. McCune has distinguished herself with her work as an entrepreneur and through her philanthropic work. ____________________
