Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding career of Joe Brannen.

After Joe graduated from the University of Georgia, he spent 8 years serving on the staff of Georgia Senator Sam Nunn. He went on to have a successful banking career spanning over 40 years.

Joe will retire as president and chief executive officer of the Georgia Bankers Association on July 15, his 44th anniversary of joining the association.

The Georgia Bankers Association enjoyed its greatest decades of growth and prosperity under the unwavering leadership of Joe.

Joe has served on a wide variety of boards, both in and out of the banking community, including the Georgia Bar Foundation, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the American Free Market Chamber of Commerce, the State YMCA, and his own local church.

Joe is a trusted adviser, a thoughtful leader, and a respected friend to many.

In short, Joe is one of the good guys. I wish him and his wife, Vilda, nothing but happiness and a well-earned retirement.
