  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Mindy Bockewitz for being named a 2015 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 that 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 honor based on 
a combined criteria of community involvement and success in their 
chosen career field. The 2015 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 560 business leaders and growing.

  As a member of the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., Mindy created a 
program underwriting team that has grown to more than $17 million in 
premiums She sits as co-chair for the Education Leadership Initiative 
and has initiated a volunteer project at Nationwide for the company to 
donate catering and cafeteria leftovers to food pantries. In all 
aspects of her life Mindy is an example of the hard work and service 
that makes our state proud.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Mindy 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud Mindy for utilizing her talents to better both 
her community and the great state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues in
