                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 1, 2013

  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the efforts of 
Jewish B2B Networking (B2B) and its founder, Shalom Klein, for his 
tireless work to connect people and promote the benefits of 
professional networking in the Jewish community.
   Still early in his career, Mr. Klein has developed a reputation for 
bringing people together and forging relationships. B2B began in in 
2010 and has achieved great success. Mr. Klein understood that in times 
of economic contraction, building relationships is just as important as 
having the rights skills.
   By setting out to build powerful professional networks, Mr. Klein 
has offered help to thousands searching for jobs, employees or new 
resources.
   At any one of the many B2B-sponsored networking events, you may find 
hundreds of professionals--young and experienced--looking to make 
meaningful contacts. I am pleased that many of these events take place 
throughout my district.
   Even with B2B's incredible success already, Mr. Klein has not slowed 
his initiative. He is constantly looking for new ways to expand and new 
tools and resources to share.
   Mr. Klein has worked so hard to ensure that the success of B2B is 
enjoyed by the entire community.
   After all, fostering these connections not only helps the jobseekers 
and businesses, but strengthens the whole community by bringing all of 
its members together. I congratulate Shalom Klein and B2B on its 
success and look forward to following its future.
