  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time 
to commend Jon. D. Spalding, an outstanding citizen and business leader 
from Perry, Michigan. I want to recognize him today as he completes his 
service as a national officer of the National Association of 
Professional Insurance Agents. Mr. Spalding also served with 
distinction a term as President of the association.
  Mr. Spalding has distinguished himself throughout his career as a 
professional insurance agent and he has exhibited only the highest 
standards of honesty, integrity and professionalism, serving as the 
President of the Professional Insurance Agents of Michigan.
  Jon D. Spalding's tenure as president of PIA National marks the first 
time in the history of the National Association of Professional 
Insurance Agents that a father, and then his son, has served as 
President of the organization. Jon D. Spalding was President of PIA 
National in 2009-2010; his father, Robert M. Spalding, Sr. served as 
President of PIA National in 1995-96.
  With his years of hard work and dedication Jon D. Spalding has earned 
the respect and admiration of his many colleagues throughout the 
insurance industry.
  He has embodied the motto of his insurance association, ``Local 
Agents Serving Main Street America.'' Therefore, I would like to 
congratulate and commend Jon D. Spalding of Perry, Michigan upon the 
successful completion of his service as a national officer and as 
President of the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents.
