                        Thursday, March 26, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Joshua Norton 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.
  Joshua has the determination and drive to be successful in anything 
he does, and his exemplary work as Vice President for Commercial 
Lending at West Bank is a testament to that. Joshua utilizes his 
abilities to connect people to move them towards a common goal not only 
in his professional life but also in his free time. Joshua spends his 
off time serving others on the Make-A-Wish Iowa board of directors. 
Joshua's outstanding work ethic and dedication to service, both 
professionally and personally, makes our state proud.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Joshua 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud him 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 Joshua 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.
