                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 15, 2013

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
Lindsay Alderman 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.
   Lindsay Alderman is the Client Operations Manager for LightEdge 
Solutions Inc., where she oversees a staff of 15 people. Lindsay is 
tasked with the crucial duty of developing and maintaining client 
relationships for the company. Outside of the office, Ms. Alderman 
contributes a large amount of time and dedication to assisting 
nonprofit organizations and charities including Girl Scouts of Iowa, 
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Iowa, Salisbury House and Gardens, and the 
Young Professionals Connection, for which she is currently president. 
Lindsay has also organized numerous events in the Des Moines area 
including the first-ever nonprofit forum that included hundreds of 
people and more than 50 organizations, as well as the Central Iowa 
Shelter Services' Chili for Charity fundraiser, which raised more than 
$1,500 for homeless Iowans. Ms. Alderman's commitment and passion for 
utilizing her talents to assist her community is a remarkable example 
that our state should be proud of.
   Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like 
Lindsay in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud Ms. Alderman 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 Lindsay 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.
