  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Annette Adams for being named a 2015 Forty Under 40 honoree

  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

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.
  Annette Adams currently works for Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., 
and she has certainly left her mark. She has founded Women Aiming for 
Success in 2012, to create a passion for women to aspire to leadership 
roles. She has served as a Greater Des Moines Partnership Diversity 
Council member, as well as, serving as a mentor for Nationwide's 
Emerging Leaders Program. Annette is a leader and an example of the 
hard work and service that makes our state proud.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Annette 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud Annette 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 Annette on receiving this 
esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record for their great 
work, and wishing each member of the 2015 Forty Under 40 class a long
