  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Chris Lowery of 
Batesville, Indiana on being selected by Governor Mike Pence to chair 
the Indiana Region 9 Works Council.
  Chris has worked at Hillenbrand, Inc. for 19 years, currently as the 
Director of Public Policy and Engagement. A graduate of Indiana 
University, Chris previously was the Executive Director of the 
Association of Indiana Counties as well as an aide to former Indiana 
Governor Robert Orr and Senator Dan Quayle. Chris has also dedicated 
his time to education serving on the Batesville Community School 
Corporation's Board of Trustees as President and founding the 
Batesville Community Education Foundation.
  Chris' leadership in business and education will greatly benefit 
Hoosiers as he serves as Chair of the Indiana Region 9 Works Council. 
The Indiana Works Council, created by Governor Pence, is responsible 
for submitting evaluations of the career, technical and vocational 
education opportunities that will be used to better prepare high school 
students for entering the workforce.
  I ask the entire 6th Congressional District to join me in 
congratulating Chris Lowery on having been selected to serve the State 
of Indiana as Chair of the Indiana Region 9 Works Council.
