  Mr. MOOLENAAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to David 
Kepler, Chairman of the United Way's Alexis de Tocqueville Society, 
upon receiving the 2015 Distinguished Citizen Award.
   A valued member of the community involved in many civic 
organizations, David Kepler joined the Dow Chemical Company in 1975. He 
went on to serve as Dow's Executive Vice President for Business 
Services, its Chief Information Officer and Chief Sustainability 
Officer. David is currently a board member of the Midland Baseball 
Foundation, Momentum Midland and chairman of the MidMichigan Innovation 
Center.
   The Distinguished Citizens Award is given to an outstanding 
individual who shows consistent Scouting values and provides 
distinguished service to both youth and community. David lives in 
Sanford and has been a community leader who has had a positive impact 
throughout the region.
   On behalf of the Fourth Congressional District of Michigan, I am 
honored today to recognize David Kepler for his service to the Boy 
Scouts of America and his contributions to the Midland community.
