                      Thursday, February 16, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Trina Flack for being named a 2017 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 2017 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 680 past business leaders and growing.
  Trina is a National Sales Manager at the Greater Des Moines 
Convention and Visitors Bureau, where she is responsible for attracting 
meetings and events to the Des Moines area. She finds herself busy 
outside of work with her involvement in many city, planning, cultural 
and leadership organizations. An Iowa State alumna and avid Cyclone 
football and basketball fan, Trina lives in Ankeny with her husband 
Adam, and their three children, Natalie, Tyler, and Emma.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Trina 
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 Trina 
on receiving this esteemed designation, thanking those at Business 
Record for their great work, and wishing each member of the 2017 Forty 
Under 40 class a long and successful career.
