“She has been a role model on our committee staff for dedication to duty, unrelenting hard work, long hours, weekends during crunch time. She has demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, actually organizing the materials in the Subcommittee on Aviation staff room so that we can find what we need when we need it. She is a willing volunteer who has gone beyond her assigned duties to see the jobs that need to be done and plunged in to do them no matter what the issue or the hour. She has brought zest and sparkle to her job, to our committee staff, and she has a special talent of giving a lift to everyone who works with her. We will miss Dara very, very much but we wish her well in her new career.”
