                      A TRIBUTE TO JARAD BERNSTEIN

                                  _____
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 17, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Jarad Bernstein for being named a 2015 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 2015 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 560 business leaders and growing.
  Jarad is the Director of Public Relations and Media Management at 
Drake University. Jarad previously worked in San Francisco in various 
public relations positions, however he found the community was not as 
enriching as he would have liked. He visited Des Moines, Iowa, and was 
welcomed by the Midwestern charm and the community involvement that he 
had been missing in San Francisco. Not to mention his future wife, 
Lilliana, was in the area as well. Since arriving, Jarad's community 
service has flourished. He now serves as the chairman for the Jewish 
Community Relations Commission, and has served as treasurer of the 
Central Iowa chapter of the Public Relations Society of America.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Jarad 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud Jarad 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 Jarad on receiving this esteemed 
designation, thanking those at Business Record for their great work, 
and wishing each member of the 2015 Forty Under 40 class a long and 
successful career.
