The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“IN RECOGNITION OF TEKISHA LEE FOR BEING NAMED A WOMAN OF ACHIEVEMENT BY THE KAPPA FOUNDATION” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E808 on June 8, 2018.
The State Department is responsibly for international relations with a budget of more than $50 billion. Tenure at the State Dept. is increasingly tenuous and it's seen as an extension of the President's will, ambitions and flaws.

IN RECOGNITION OF TEKISHA LEE FOR BEING NAMED A WOMAN OF ACHIEVEMENT BY
THE KAPPA FOUNDATION
______
HON. DEBBIE DINGELL
of michigan
in the house of representatives
Friday, June 8, 2018
Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Tekisha Lee and her acknowledgement as Ypsilanti's Woman of Achievement by the Kappa Foundation. Ms. Lee founded DiverseNote, a career management social network for professionals within an all-inclusive community of professionals.
The Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti-Inkster Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was established on December 6, 1958. The organization was founded in order to foster relationships between Michigan Kappa Alpha Psis, provide leadership to current students at Michigan universities and mentor youth in suburban Detroit. Since its founding, group members have come together to serve the local community in a variety of ways including golf tournaments, college fairs, pancake breakfasts, Meals on Wheels programs and robust scholarship programming. In addition to their myriad civic endeavors, the fraternity's Kappa Foundation honors female leaders in southeast Michigan annually at their ``Women On Achievement'' event. This year's honorees include Tekisha Lee, a well-
respected leader and businesswoman in our community.
A graduate of Howard University, Ms. Tekisha Lee has turned her lifelong passion for educating and mentoring the next generation of leaders into a successful career. She is the Founder and CEO of DiverseNote, a career recruitment and retention platform that connects candidates with organizations, recruiters, Fortune 500 companies, colleges, universities and alumni associations seeking top talent across the United States. Ms. Lee was also selected as a U.S. Department of State Delegate to the Maghreb region of Africa to advise on job creation and economic development and serves in leadership positions on various non-profit boards including Jobs for Michigan Graduates, the state's top workforce development organization. Ms. Lee has devoted her life to helping others succeed, and she is truly deserving of the Kappa Foundation's recognition.
Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Tekisha Lee for being named one of The Kappa Foundation's Women of Achievement. She has distinguished herself with her entrepreneurship and service to the state.
