  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the Buchanan 
Partners and Nancy Hersch Ingram who have demonstrated incredible 
dedication and service to the Hylton Performing Arts Center. Their many 
contributions have helped grow the arts in our community and at the 
Hylton Performing Arts Center. The Hylton Performing Arts Center serves 
to enrich, entertain, and celebrate the community through arts and 
educational programs. The Hylton Performing Arts Center provides a 
variety of cultural experiences for all ages, and we are thankful to 
have this Center in our community.
   The Buchanan Partners have played a key role in establishing the 
Hylton Performing Arts Center's vision by sponsoring the Buchanan 
Partners Art Gallery. This gallery features local and regional artists 
and serves to enrich the community through various visual art 
experiences. They continue to reach out to the community and live out 
their mission of ``Developing Values. Building relationships.'' It is 
my pleasure to honor the Buchanan Partners for their contributions and 
efforts.
   We are also very fortunate to have an exceptional visual artist, 
philanthropist, and founding supporter of the Hylton Performing Arts 
Center, Nancy Hersch Ingram. She earned her Masters of Fine Arts degree 
from American University and now serves on the George Mason University 
Science and Technology campus advisory board. Nancy continues to help 
other members of our community by providing visionary artistic 
influence and philanthropic support. Her art work is held in permanent 
collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, the National 
Museum of Women in the Arts, and other art institutions. She has been a 
pillar for artistic enrichment in our community, and demonstrates the 
values we seek in our community leaders. It is my pleasure to honor 
Nancy Hersch Ingram.
   Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
Buchanan Partners and Nancy Hersch Ingram for their many contributions 
to the Hylton Performing Arts Center.
