                       Wednesday, March 25, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Brent Macke 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.
  Brent has the determination and drive to be successful in anything he 
does, and his exemplary work with Holmes Murphy & Associates is a 
testament to that. As an account executive and shareholder with Holmes 
Murphy & Associates, Brent realizes the importance of giving back to 
the community. He has dedicated his time and talents to serve others 
through organizations like Junior Achievement of Central Iowa, 
Variety--The Children's Charity, the Ankeny High School mentorship 
program and Easter Seals of Iowa. In all aspects of his life, Brent is 
a leader and an example of the hard work and service that makes our 
state proud.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Brent 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud him 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 Brent 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.
