IN HONOR OF KATHLEEN PEPERA 

HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH OF OHIO

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, August 1, 2012 

Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in 

honor of Kathleen Pepera who is retiring on 

August 1, 2012 after 34 years of dedicated 

service with the Social Security Administration. 

Kathy began her career with the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the Cleveland 

West District Office as a summer intern while 

still a student at Baldwin-Wallace College. Following graduation, she took the Professional 

and Administrative Career Examination and 

was subsequently hired in 1979 as a Claims 

Representative in the Cleveland Southwest 

Social Security Office. 

Throughout her career with SSA, Kathy has 

held a number of positions with increasing responsibilities. She has served as a supervisor 

at the Cleveland Teleservice Center and the 

Cleveland Downtown Field Office. Kathy also 

worked as the District Manager at the Cleveland Southeast Office and Cleveland Northeast Office. She also fulfilled a temporary role 

as Deputy Area Director for Northern Ohio. 

Kathy will be retiring as the District Manager 

of the Cleveland West District Office, the 

same office where she started her 34 year career. 

Kathy’s dedication to the SSA and citizens 

she helped serve was unquestionable. She 

was steadfast in fulfilling SSA’s mission to 

‘‘deliver Social Security services that meet the 

changing needs of the public.’’ 

Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me 

in honoring Kathleen Pepera on the occasion 

of her retirement.

CONCURRENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION CELEBRATES ITS 25TH 

ANNIVERSARY, TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2012 

HON. MARK S. CRITZ OF PENNSYLVANIA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, August 1, 2012 

Mr. CRITZ. Mr. Speaker, on August 28, 

2012, Concurrent Technologies Corporation 

will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary. I rise 

to acknowledge this notable milestone and to 

pay recognition to the company’s history and 

dedicated employees. 

Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) 

was first known as Metalworking Technology 

Inc., a subsidiary of the University of Pittsburgh Trust. Metalworking Technology Inc. 

was formed in 1987 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to operate the National Center for Excellence in Metalworking Technology for the 

U.S. Navy. 

In 1992, Metalworking Technology Inc. 

changed its name to Concurrent Technologies 

Corporation to more accurately convey the organization’s expanded mission: to provide cutting-edge scientific, applied research and development solutions to its clients. Two years 

later, CTC separated from the University of 

Pittsburgh Trust to become a fully independent 

nonprofit corporation. 

Daniel R. DeVos was the company’s first 

permanent Chief Executive Officer, and 

through his leadership the organization quickly 

expanded its capabilities and gained national 

recognition. Edward J. Sheehan, Jr., who succeeded Mr. DeVos, is the current President 

and Chief Executive Officer. Under his guidance, CTC continues to grow and prosper— 

earning respect and appreciation from its 

many customers across our nation and globe.
