                       Tuesday, February 28, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Christie Sullivan 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.
  Christie is the Acquisitions and Divestitures Director for Kum & Go 
convenience stores. Over the past nine years, Christie has gained 
significant insight into how departments within an organization best 
interact to optimize success. Outside of work, she is involved in the 
Kum & Go Women's Network, Women's Leadership Council and Commercial 
Real Estate Women. She and her husband Zeb are the proud parents of 
three beautiful daughters, Zoe, Elsa and Onnika.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like 
Christie in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that 
I applaud 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 
Christie 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.
