  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Principal Financial Group, Inc. President of Retirement and 
Income Solutions Nora Everett for being named a 2016 Women of Influence 
honoree by the award-winning central Iowa publication, Business Record.
  For 17 years, the Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual 
review to identify a standout group of women who have made a 
significant difference in business, civic and philanthropic endeavors 
throughout the Greater Des Moines Area. Ms. Everett has devoted her 
life to confronting challenges which many others might avoid. She has 
spent countless hours on various boards while blazing a trail for 
others to follow. She was selected for the chosen field of expertise, 
the lasting impact on the community, involvement with civic or non-
profit organization and being seen as a role model because of her lofty 
achievements and high ethical standards.
  Nora Everett has the determination and drive to be successful in 
anything she does and her exemplary work with the Principal Financial 
Group, Inc. She is an integral component of one of Iowa's largest and 
most successful employers, building a long and illustrious career with 
The Principal Financial Group, Inc., based in Des Moines, Iowa. In all 
aspects of her life, Nora Everett is an example of hard work and 
service who makes Iowans proud.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Nora 
Everett 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 invite my colleagues in the 
House to join me in congratulating Nora Everett on receiving this 
esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record for their great 
work, and wishing Ms. Everett a long and successful career.
