  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Brianne Fitzgerald 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 marketing and communication director at Big Brothers Big 
Sisters of Central Iowa Brianne has utilized her expertise in the 
marketing field to raise awareness of the message Big Brother and Big 
Sisters is trying to bring to the community. She works tirelessly to 
provide resources to those who need them most, so that they too have 
the opportunity to become successful. Her dedication and passion for 
serving others and strengthening the Des Moines community is a true 
testament to her character and it has not gone unnoticed.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Brianne 
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 
Brianne 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.
