Councilmember Blondell Reynolds Brown' (At Large) introduces a resolution honoring all individuals who have served on her staff during her 20 years in City Council.
A
A
John
C
Maxwell
once
said,
and
I
quote,
the
truth
is
that
teamwork
is
at
the
heart
of
every
great
achievement.
End
quote
this
morning.
Mr.
president
I
found
it
appropriate
timely
and
in
order
that
I
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
my
staff
in
the
last
20
years,
I
started
out
as
a
staffer
as
a
legislative
director
for
a
state
senator
there
in
Harrisburg
made
that
hike
for
a
year
up
and
down
the
Turnpike
and
I
learned,
then
the
value
of
staffers.
A
So
today,
as
I,
prepare
to
conclude
20
years
of
service
with
City
Council
I
offer
this
resolution
to
honor
the
extraordinary
members
of
my
staff
who
have
served
for
the
office
with
distinction.
It
is
no
secret
that
I
value
excellence,
in
fact,
I
demand
it
and
hard
work
because
to
be
an
african-american
woman
in
business,
business
means
that
you
have
to
walk
on
a
tightrope
backwards.
A
Wear
high
heels
on
blindfolded,
always
getting
it
right,
and
so,
through
this
resolution,
I
am
proud
to
recognize
their
efforts
and
formally
enter
every
name
of
every
single
staffer
into
the
City
Council
records.
With
that,
I
want
to
acknowledge
my
family,
who
are
here,
two
sisters
representing
the
family,
my
daughter
who's,
taking
a
law
exam
as
we
speak,
my
former
staffers,
my
Delta
Sigma
Theta,
Sorority
sisters,
the
village
moms,
the
travel
crew
and
former
Danko
Dolls.
If
you
all
sense
that
we
can
say,
thank
you.
