                       Monday, February 27, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ryan Crane 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.
  Ryan works with the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, where 
he helped to raise a record-setting $62 million. Outside of work, Ryan 
is very active within the community. He volunteers his time at the Des 
Moines Social Club and the West Des Moines Public Art Advisory Council, 
works to expand the local chapter of the New Leaders Council, and 
administers the First Friday Breakfast Club scholarship program. In his 
free time, you can find him running or cycling on one of the many local 
trails.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Ryan in 
the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize 
him today 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 Ryan 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.
