Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Wayne County school system's Nick Ellis for his induction into the Boys & Girls Clubs Hall of Fame.

Nick has been working with the Boys & Girls Clubs for 16 years. After graduating high school in 2006, Nick began working with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Altamaha Area as a volunteer, then as a unit director, before rising to board membership. Today, he also serves as the area's chief volunteer officer.

Throughout his time with the club, Nick has been a positive influence in the lives of countless children, providing support and leadership to those in need.

Nick also serves his community as a law enforcement officer with the Jesup Police Department. In his 12 years with the department, Nick has risen through the ranks and currently serves as patrol division commander.

In 2020, Governor Brian Kemp recognized Nick's efforts in law enforcement and appointed Nick to serve on the Georgia Board of Public Safety.

A passionate volunteer dedicated to helping his community beyond his professional career, Nick Ellis is a shining example of leadership and guidance for everyone. He is fully deserving of this hall of fame induction honor.
