                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 12, 2013

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
Howard Tempero for being named a 2013 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 who 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 distinction, 
which is based on a combined criteria of community involvement and 
success in their chosen career field. The 2013 class of Forty Under 40 
honorees join an impressive roster of 560 business leaders and growing.
   Howard Tempero has been with Spindustry Digital for five years and 
currently serves as the Experience Design Strategist, in which he works 
with clients on website design and digital promotional material, among 
other online messages. After professional stints in Chicago and New 
York, Howard chose to bring his skill and expertise back to his home 
state. Since returning to the Des Moines area, Mr. Tempero has 
generated millions of dollars for Spindustry Digital and remains 
heavily involved in his community through the Rotary Club of Des Moines 
AM. Last year, Howard was recognized as a finalist for the NOVA Award 
from the American Marketing Association for his outstanding 
professional efforts. Outside of the office, Howard enjoys spending 
time with his wife, Megan, and their two daughters, Islalucia and 
Aristella, and two sons, Rezin and Corbet. In all facets of his life, 
Howard is an example of hard work and service that our state can be 
proud of.
   Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Howard 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud Mr. Tempero for utilizing his talents to better 
both his community and the great state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues 
in the House to join me in congratulating Howard on receiving this 
esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record for their great 
work, and wishing each member of the 2013 Forty Under 40 class 
continued success.
