                        Thursday, April 14, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Brooke Miller Axiotis 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 a Civil Rights Specialist and housing investigator on the Iowa 
Civil Rights Commission, Brooke is heavily involved in her community. 
She is dedicated to serving others and does so through public service. 
She currently serves her community on the Iowa State Board of 
Education, the National Association of State Boards of Education, the 
Junior League of Des Moines Board, as well as the Urban Ag Academy 
Board. She is committed to staying engaged in her community and that is 
a true testament to her character and Iowa values.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Brooke 
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 Brooke 
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.
