                         Friday, April 15, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Catherine Swoboda 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.
  Catherine serves as the Director of Planning at the Des Moines based 
World Food Prize Organization. Through her work, Catherine is able to 
motivate the next generation of young people to fight hunger and give 
back to the people who need it most. She is tirelessly dedicated to 
educating others about the sheer number of people who go hungry each 
and every day. Not only does Catherine help others in her professional 
life, but she is also committed to using her time outside of work to 
help refugees fight through the issues they encounter when beginning a 
new life and acclimating to a new culture.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like 
Catherine 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 
Catherine 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.
