                       Wednesday, April 13, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Jan Glendening 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.
  As the Iowa state director for the Nature Conservancy, Jan has been 
dedicated to finding solutions for some of Iowa's most important issues 
revolving around land and water preservation. She is dedicated to 
educating Iowans on the importance of taking care of our lands as well 
as finding solutions to the issues we face today. Jan also dedicates 
her time and talents to Iowa's Water and Land Legacy Executive 
Committee that works to build resources for the Natural Resources and 
Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund. Her commitment to preserving our lands 
and leaving them better off for our future generations is a true 
testament to her Iowa values.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Jan in 
the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize 
and applaud her for utilizing her talents to better both her community 
and the great state of Iowa. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Jan 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.
