                        Tuesday, April 14, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Brent Willett 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 
the 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.
  Brent has the determination and drive to be successful in all of his 
pursuits, which is highlighted by his exemplary work at Cultivation 
Corridor. As Executive Director, Brent utilizes his communication 
skills to attract business to Iowa and to help expand existing 
businesses. Brent spends his free time serving others by volunteering 
as a one-on-one mentor at Capitol View Elementary School and by helping 
an emergency food pantry organize its food drives. Brent'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 Brent 
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 Brent 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.
