  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 Public Benefit Manager for Delta Dental of Iowa, Beth works 
each and every day to make them one of the leaders in oral health in 
the state. She is dedicated to improving the overall image of the 
company through hard work and education. Beth has been passionate about 
serving Iowans through the Iowa Public Health Association by raising 
awareness that a commitment to public health can provide major benefits 
to communities and lead them in a positive direction. She is also 
dedicated to serving others through the development of the Lifelong 
Smiles Coalition, an organization focused on increased access to oral 
health care for older adults.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Beth 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 Beth 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.
