                        TRIBUTE TO HANNAH INMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 12, 2013

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
Hannah Inman for being named a 2013 Forty Under 40 honoree by the 
award-winning central Iowa publication, Business Record.
   Since 2000, Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual 
review to identify a standout group of young leaders in the Greater Des 
Moines area who are making an impact in their communities and their 
careers. Each year, forty up-and-coming community and business leaders 
under 40 years of age are selected for this prestigious distinction, 
which is based on a combined criteria of community involvement and 
success in their chosen career field. The 2013 class of Forty Under 40 
honorees join an impressive roster of 560 business leaders and growing.
   Hannah Inman serves as the Director of Communications for the Iowa 
Natural Heritage Foundation and is also the co-owner of two 
businesses--Maverly Lands, an agribusiness, and KDC Built, a home-
building operation she owns with her husband of ten years, Mike. KDC 
Built was launched amid the fiscal crisis and has not only survived, 
but thrived as the business donates the proceeds from one house to 
charity. When Hannah is not juggling the responsibilities of her two 
businesses or the communications efforts for the largest conservation 
bond issue in Iowa, she also serves as a member of the Broadlawns 
Advocate Circle marketing committee, an executive committee member of 
the Greater Des Moines Leadership Institute class of 2011, and is a 
mother to her and Mike's two young children, six-year-old Maverick and 
Everly, who will turn two later this year. In every facet of her life, 
Hannah is an example of service and Iowa work ethic that our state can 
be proud of.
   Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Hannah 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud Mrs. Inman for utilizing her talents to better 
both her community and the great state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues 
in the House to join me in congratulating Hannah on receiving this 
esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record for their great 
work, and wishing each member of the 2013 Forty Under 40 class 
continued success.
