                         Monday, March 24, 2014

  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to honor 
Oakton Community College, in partnership with NSERVE and with the 
support of the Tooling and Manufacturing Association, the Illinois 
Manufacturers' Association, North Shore Community Bank and more than 50 
local manufacturers, for hosting the 2014 Manufacturing Expo in the 
suburban Chicago district I represent.
   The Expo includes workshops, speakers and student tours of local 
manufacturers offering young people the opportunity to learn more about 
American manufacturing and available careers. Since 2008, nearly 2,000 
students have benefited from these experiences.
   The 2014 Expo is also honoring some of its most outstanding industry 
partners for demonstrating a true commitment to serving young people 
and to ensuring our future economic and manufacturing success.
   It is my honor to congratulate Terry Iverson of Iverson and Company; 
John Winzeler of Winzeler Gear; John Rubeo of Woodward; and Mark 
Glennerster and Tara Kandra of John Crane, this year's award 
recipients.
   Since 2008, countless manufacturers have generously opened their 
doors and welcomed curious students, making these education/business 
partnerships possible. I am grateful for their excellence and 
participation. I would also like to recognize all the participating 
high schools, with Oakton Community College, for

their dedication to providing the next generation with the skills and 
knowledge necessary for success in the 21st Century.
   The 2014 Manufacturing Expo is poised to be the most successful to 
date, and I am so proud that these partnerships are happening in and 
around the Tenth District.
