  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Alyssa Young 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.
  Alyssa is the Assistant Director of Internal & Strategic 
Communications at Drake University, where she received her Masters in 
Communication Leadership. Outside of work she is involved in Lead Like 
a Lady, Volunteers of Greater Des Moines Habitat Young Professionals 
and the national Habitat Young Professionals Advisory Council. Alyssa 
was also recently recognized as a finalist for the 2016 YPC Amy 
Jennings YP Impact Award.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Alyssa 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize her today 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 Alyssa 
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.
