  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Jennifer Smith for being named a 2016 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 2016 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 640 business leaders and growing.
  Jennifer works as an Assurance Manager for Des Moines based McGowen, 
Hurst, Clark & Smith P.C. She is passionate about providing her clients 
with sound advice and works hard to build strong business relationships 
with each of them. Jennifer is also tirelessly dedicated to serving her 
community. She volunteers her time and talents to organizations like 
the Bidwell Riverside Center, Hawthorn Hill, and Lead Like a Lady. Her 
commitment to serving others before herself is a true testament to her 
character and her Iowa values.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like 
Jennifer in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that 
I recognize and applaud her for utilizing her talents to better both 
her community and the great state of Iowa. I ask that my colleagues in 
the United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating 
Jennifer on receiving this esteemed designation, thanking those at 
Business Record for their great work, and wishing each member of the 
2016 Forty Under 40 class a long and successful career.
