                        Tuesday, March 17, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Brad Duffy 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.
  Brad has the determination and drive to be successful in anything he 
does, and his exemplary work with Per Mar Security Services is a 
testament to that. As President of Security Officer Services, Brad is 
passionate about hard work and dedication, and is active within 
volunteer organizations in the community. He specifically volunteers 
with the Greater Des Moines Committee and Youth Home of Mid-America. 
Along with his wife, Alison, they volunteer their time to InnerVisions 
Healthcare; a West Des Moines based non-profit organization. In all 
aspects of his life, Brad 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 Brad in 
the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize 
and applaud Brad for utilizing his talents to better both his community 
and the great state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues in the House to 
join me in congratulating Brad 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 and successful 
career.
