Tuesday, October 11, 2022
Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to my dear friend, Patricia Falkenberg who has dedicated her life to advancing Jewish causes and supporting the arts.
Patricia Falkenberg is a native New Yorker who grew up in Woodmere and graduated from Woodmere Academy. After graduating from high school Mrs. Falkenberg attended Mount Holyoke College and graduated with distinction in 1964. Since then, Mrs. Falkenberg has taken an extremely active leadership role in the Mount Holyoke community and received an Alumnae Medal of Honor from the Alumnae Association of Mount Holyoke College in 2019.
Mrs. Falkenberg is dedicated to supporting the arts and has served as an advisory board member of the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum for 15 years. To expand the Art Museum's reach Mrs. Falkenberg and her husband established the Patricia and Edward Falkenberg Lecture Series which arranges talks and exhibitions on campus from notable figures in the art world like Ai Weiwei.
Mrs. Falkenberg is also deeply involved in supporting Jewish causes. She has been a member of the American Jewish Committee's Board of Governors for over 30 years and recently served as President of AJC's Women's Leadership Board.
Madam Speaker, Mrs. Falkenberg is a dear friend of mine who continues to inspire me with her tireless advocacy and charitable work. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the many contributions that Patricia Falkenberg has made to New York City and wishing her every future success.
