IN RECOGNITION OF HASSAN JABER
______
HON. RASHIDA TLAIB
of michigan
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, November 9, 2021
Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to recognize the numerous outstanding contributions of Hassan Jaber to the communities of Wayne County, Michigan, as he retires after more than 40 years of service from ACCESS.
During his four decades at ACCESS, Hassan Jaber has been instrumental in shepherding its growth and expansion. He has been a leader in expanding ACCESS' programming to include more than one hundred platforms and ten locations to assist residents across Wayne County and southeastern Michigan. Hassan Jaber created partnerships locally and nationally to advocate for policy initiatives to fight bigotry, advance civil rights, and to create a better quality of life for immigrant and other vulnerable populations through access to human services. With every obstacle, he never wavered in leading with compassion and keeping the community at the center of the work.
Hassan Jaber's leadership and forward-thinking approach have solidified his legacy as a community leader. In addition to his immense positive impact on the communities of Wayne County, he also served on many national and community boards, including the U.S. Census National Community Advisory Board on Race and Ethnicity and the Michigan Census Complete Count Committee; United Way for Southeastern Michigan; the Detroit Institute of Arts; and the Detroit Zoological Society. I had the honor of working with him for years and his mentorship helped me grow into a passionate advocate for my district.
Please join me in recognizing Hassan Jaber's work on behalf of residents of Michigan's 13th district and southeastern Michigan as we wish him well on the next chapter in his life.
