                       Wednesday, March 25, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Brenna Finnerty 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.
  Brenna has the determination and drive to be successful in all that 
she undertakes, demonstrated by her exemplary work with the Blank 
Children's Hospital. As the Annual Giving Director with Blank 
Children's Hospital, Brenna actively engages with her community to make 
it a better place. Her passion for volunteering is evident, as is her 
enthusiasm in supporting a worthy cause. In all aspects of her life, 
Brenna's example of hard work and service makes our state proud.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Brenna 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud her 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 Brenna 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.
