                      Thursday, February 16, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Dylan Mullenix 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.
  Dylan serves as the Assistant Director for the Des Moines Area 
Metropolitan Planning Organization. With his leadership, the 
organization has developed The Tomorrow Plan, a long-range plan for the 
sustainable development of the Greater Des Moines area. In addition, 
Dylan was instrumental in the creation of the Greater Des Moines Water 
Trails and Greenways Plan. He also serves on other local regional 
planning organizations. Outside of work, Dylan enjoys following 
University of Iowa athletics and spending time with his wife, Erin, and 
son, Jack.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Dylan 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud him for utilizing his talents to better both his 
community and the great state of Iowa. I ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Dylan 
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.
