                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 13, 2013

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
Angela Hilbert 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.
   Angela Hilbert is the Sales and Marketing Director for Deerfield 
Retirement Community. An Iowa native and graduate of the University of 
Northern Iowa, Angela always knew she wanted her work to include 
assisting and influencing those around her. This passion has led Angela 
to extensive involvement with nonprofits in Iowa over the last decade, 
including the YMCA of Greater Des Moines, the Des Moines Community 
Playhouse, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and the Easter 
Seals of Iowa, just to name a few. Angela married her high school 
sweetheart Rob, and together they live in Urbandale with their 
daughters, Samantha and Emerson. Indicative of her character, Angela is 
honored to be among the 2013 Class of Forty Under 40 and hopes it will 
serve as another platform to contribute to those around her. In all 
facets of her life, Angela 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 Angela 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud Mrs. Hilbert for utilizing her talents to better 
both her community and the great state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues 
in the House to join me in congratulating Angela 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.
