                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 21, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate a great Iowa company, EMC Insurance. EMC has been 
recognized as a Hero for the Homeless by the Central Iowa Shelter and 
Services.
  EMC was founded in Iowa in 1911 and now has more than 2,100 
employees; it is considered to be among the top 50 insurance companies 
in the country. The business has evolved since its original founding 
and now provides property and casualty insurance products along with 
other services throughout the United States.
  As a company, EMC has dedicated itself to serving those who are less 
fortunate, working to build a better future for the next generation. 
Every year Central Iowa Shelter and Services recognizes its ``Heroes'' 
who have significantly given time and financial support to address 
homelessness in Central Iowa. EMC deserves to be commended for their 
active role reducing the number of homeless in the Central Iowa 
Community.
  I applaud and congratulate EMC for receiving this award and their 
tireless support for the homeless in Iowa's Third Congressional 
District. I am proud to represent them in the United States Congress. I 
know that my colleagues will join me in congratulating EMC Insurance 
and wishing them well with continued success in the future.

                          ____________________
