RECOGNIZING HAL B. GOODE ON HIS RETIREMENT

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 187 (Tuesday, December 17, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 187 (Tuesday, December 17, 2024)] [House] [Page H7291] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 1900 RECOGNIZING HAL B. GOODE ON HIS RETIREMENT (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my good friend, Mr. Hal B. Goode of Washington County, on his well-deserved retirement as the executive director of the Central Kentucky Community Action Council. Hal will be retiring after an extraordinary 6\1/2\ years of incredible leadership, where he has expanded vital community service outreach across multiple Kentucky counties, including many in the First Congressional District of Kentucky. Under his direction, Hal has spearheaded numerous achievements, including opening two new Head Start facilities in my district, in Springfield and Lebanon. The success of the Central Kentucky Community Action Council is a testament to Hal's belief that their service to those in need is a hand up, not a handout. His ability to develop relationships with local communities has laid a strong foundation for the CKCAC's future progress. I thank Hal for his dedication to central Kentucky and wish him nothing but the best in a well-deserved retirement. ____________________
