                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2012

  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and congratulate my 
longtime constituent and friend, Scott Nein, upon the recognition by 
his colleagues as the Industry Person of the Year.
  This award is given to an individual who has made significant 
contributions to the improvement of the insurance industry and the 
independent agency system. Scott is being honored because of his 
advocacy for independent insurance agents as well as his hard work and 
selfless effort that contributed to making the merger between the 
Independent Insurance Agents and the Professional Insurance Agents a 
reality in Ohio.
  Scott Nein is a great leader. First, in the Ohio House and then in 
the Ohio Senate, he was able to make an impact for our State, and 
represented his constituents well during his time of service. This man 
is equally as impressive when it comes to his management and impact 
within the insurance industry. Throughout his career, he has worked 
well with diverse groups of people including: clients, consumers, 
constituents, insurance agents, and elected officials. Scott made 
``reaching across the aisle'' an art form for the betterment of our 
citizens.
  I am very proud to call Scott Nein my close friend and for that I 
express my most sincere congratulations. His drive is unparalleled, and 
his devotion to serving others is inspiring. I am certain his shining 
example has encouraged others to follow.
