                      Thursday, December 17, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Principal Financial Group for being recognized with a 2015 Women of 
Innovation award at the eighth annual Women of Innovation Awards hosted 
by the Technology Association of Iowa. Overall, 10 women, along with a 
single corporation, were recognized with innovation awards. The award 
highlights today's extraordinary women and recognizes leaders in 
science, technology, engineering, and math.
  Principal Financial Group is a Des Moines based global investment 
manager. More than 45 percent of the organization's IT professionals 
are women. Principal Financial is also involved in a number of efforts 
to support STEM education throughout the community and the entire 
state.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent community leaders like those 
at Principal Financial Group in the United States Congress and it is 
with great pride that I recognize them today. I ask that my colleagues 
in the United States House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating Principal Financial Group on receiving this award and 
wishing each of their employees nothing but continued success.
