                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 4, 2014

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
Charley Campbell of Kum & Go for being named a 2014 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 2014 class of Forty Under 40 
honorees join an impressive roster of nearly 600 business leaders and 
growing.
  Charley Campbell has been with Kum & Go for 14 years where he now 
serves as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Originally from 
Oskaloosa, Charley attended Iowa State University and graduated with a 
degree in finance before obtaining his law degree from Drake Law 
School. Mr. Campbell received his start at Kum & Go while in college 
when he was selected to sit on the company's board of directors for a 
semester. That experience with the company and the Krause family 
ultimately paved the way for him to garner an internship in May of 
2000. Today, Charley is an integral part of Kum & Go's rapidly 
expanding operation and has had his great work recognized through the 
company's Founders Award and Values Award for Integrity. Charley was 
also recently honored with the 2013 Association of Corporate Counsel 
Value Champion Award.
  Outside of work, Mr. Campbell gives back to his community in a 
variety of ways. Charley serves on the board of directors of the Iowa 
Grocery Industry Association, volunteers as a youth basketball coach at 
the YMCA, is an active member at Lutheran Church of Hope, and is guest 
speaker at both Drake Law School and Iowa State University. Charley 
resides in Waukee with his wife Nicole and their children Thomas, 
Grant, Blake and Kirsten. In all aspects of his life, Mr. Campbell is 
an example of service, hard work, and Iowa values that our state can be 
proud of.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent leaders like Charley in the 
United States Congress and it is with great pride that I applaud Mr. 
Campbell 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 Charley on receiving this esteemed designation, thanking 
those at Business Record for their great work, and wishing each member 
of the 2014 Forty Under 40 class continued success.
