                       Wednesday, April 13, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Josh Ehlen for being named a 2016 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 2016 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 640 business leaders and growing.
  Josh serves as an account executive at the Des Moines based insurance 
company Reynolds & Reynolds. He has displayed a dedication and passion 
for providing high quality customer service each and every day. Josh's 
dedication at the office has also spilled over to his life outside of 
work. He has volunteered his time to organizations like Variety--The 
Children's Charity, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Booster Pak, and the 
Des Moines Ambassadors Club to name a few. Josh is an excellent example 
of all things that make Iowa such a great place to build a career and a 
family.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Josh 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 ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Josh on 
receiving this esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record 
for their great work, and wishing each member of the 2016 Forty Under 
40 class a long and successful career.
