                         Thursday, July 9, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mr. Jerry Mathiasen of Council Bluffs. Jerry was recently 
named the president and CEO of the Pottawattamie County Community 
Foundation (PCCF). He had previously served as the interim president 
and CEO at PCCF before his most recent post. PCCF serves as a community 
builder within Council Bluffs and the surrounding area by leveraging 
partnerships and providing grants across the county to improve the 
lives of its citizens.
  As a native of Council Bluffs, Jerry returned home after serving in 
the administration of Governor Terry Branstad for 14 years. Once home, 
he gave his time and talents to the Iowa West Foundation for almost 18 
years. Jerry has had a long, successful career as a philanthropic 
leader and has earned the title of President and CEO of PCCF.
  I applaud and congratulate Jerry for his recent promotion to 
President and CEO of PCCF. I am proud to represent him in the United 
States Congress and I know that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Jerry and wishing him nothing but continued success in 
the future.
