Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History
Month. Each year, we pay special tribute to the contributions and
sacrifices made by our nation's women. It is an honor to pay homage to
outstanding women who are making a difference in my Congressional

Barbara, a state Administrative Service Credential and Master of Arts
degree from the California State University, Los Angeles, a Master of
Science degree from Pepperdine University, Los Angeles, and a Doctor of
Education and a School Business Management Program Certificate of
Completion from the University of Southern California (USC).
Kathy admirably served the Pasadena Unified School District for over
four decades, beginning in 1971 as a classroom teacher at Audubon
Primary School, then serving as a Principal, Curriculum Resource

Association of California School Administrators (ACSA), the Association
of Pasadena School Administrators, Member of PUSD's Technology
Committee, and a Member of the Advisory Committee for Professional

California. Kathy's past and present community involvement includes
serving on the boards of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Pasadena, Young
and Healthy, Pasadena Educational Foundation and Delta Kappa Gamma, as
a member of the Greater Pasadena Japanese American Citizens League and

I ask all Members to join me in honoring this exceptional, well-
respected woman of California's 28th Congressional District, Dr. Kathy
