Congratulating Kate Haslam

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kate Haslam for her placement on ``Georgia Trend's'' annual 40 Under 40 list.

Kate is a Savannah-based certified public accountant working as an audit principal for Hancock Askew & Company.

A graduate of the University of Georgia, Kate inherited her ambitious spirit from her mother who competed in two sports at the college level while pursuing several graduate degrees--the same drive that allows her to build a high-level career in accounting while raising two young kids at home.

Kate is not only a leader in her workplace, but also a leader in the broader Savannah community. She was a 2021 graduate of Leadership Savannah, an organization dedicated to instilling good leadership qualities in managers from a diverse cross section of industries in the Savannah area.

On top of all this, Kate still finds time to give back to her community. She participates regularly in volunteer services for the families of fallen first responders as well as for United Way and the March of Dimes.

I am proud that so many young people in our district are as impressive as Kate is, and I am glad that Georgia Trends recognizes these accomplishments, too.

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Kate.
