                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 13, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and congratulate 
Janet Reiners of Council Bluffs, Iowa, for being selected as the 
Together, Educators and Administrators Make It Happen Award from the 
Iowa State Education Association. Janet Reiners has served as the Chief 
Human Resources Officer for the Council Bluffs Community School 
District for over 19 years, and will retire from this position later 
this summer.
  Janet Reiners received the Together, Educators and Administrators 
Make It Happen Award for her outstanding work in human resources with 
the Council Bluffs Community School District as an administrator who 
has ``worked to create a collaborative, collegial working environment 
for all staff.'' Before joining the school district staff, Janet 
Reiners worked in the private sector and gained valuable experience as 
an effective human resources officer. Ms. Reiners said she has seen 
many changes and requirements in education that directly affect 
classroom teachers and administrators. She said the human resources 
function and recruitment of teachers and administrators is the 
lifeblood of the school district. Ms. Reiners noted that, ``The most 
important attribute the school district has is staff committed to 
helping children learn and grow.''
  I applaud and congratulate Janet Reiners for earning the Together, 
Educators and Administrators Make It Happen Award. She is a shining 
example of how hard work and dedication can affect the future of our 
youth and their education. I urge my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives to join me in congratulating Janet Reiners for her many 
accomplishments serving the Council Bluffs Community School District. I 
wish her continued success and the very best in her retirement.
