JARED HUFFMAN of california in the house of representatives Thursday, September 10, 2026 Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Nancy Dow Moody and her decades of extraordinary public service as a nonprofit leader as she retires from Lifehouse. Nancy's distinguished career spans more than 40 years in service to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Nancy joined Lifehouse as Director of Services in 1992, bringing with her years of experience in managing programs that support the disability services community. In 2005, she was promoted to Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and in 2008, she assumed the role of President and CEO. Over the course of her tenure, Nancy guided Lifehouse through transformational growth and inclusion. She expanded services, modernized systems, and developed pioneering programs that improved quality of life for thousands of individuals and families. Nancy championed affordable housing solutions for Lifehouse clients, collaborated on the development of innovative senior living programs, and helped launch the first Supported Living Program in the State of California. Under her leadership, Lifehouse also spearheaded the Marin Autism Collaborative, a key resource linking families, local agencies, and service providers. Nancy is admired for her steady leadership, thoughtful decision- making, and genuine commitment to Lifehouse's mission, always drawing upon her extensive background and academic achievements to inform her leadership. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Boston State College and a Master of Arts in Non-Profit Organizational Management from the University of San Francisco, where she graduated cum laude as a Merit Scholar. In 2019, she completed the Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management Program at Harvard Business School, bringing nationally recognized best practices back to Lifehouse. Mr. Speaker, it has been my honor and privilege to work with Nancy. I can personally [[Page E896]] attest to how her leadership has transformed and enriched the lives of innumerable families throughout the Bay Area including mine. Please join me in expressing our profound gratitude for her remarkable contributions and in extending our warmest wishes for a richly deserved and fulfilling retirement. ____________________
