                         Friday, March 24, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate LaVerne Greenfield for being named a 2017 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 2017 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 680 past business leaders and growing.
  LaVerne serves as a development associate at Greater Des Moines 
Habitat for Humanity, where his work improving data integrity and 
automation has allowed more time for staff to fundraise and work with, 
volunteers. He draws inspiration from his large family, and has served 
his community in several roles over the years outside of his work, 
including with the Habitat Young Professionals and the Greater Des 
Moines Young Professionals Connection.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like LaVerne 
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 ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating 
LaVerne on receiving this esteemed designation, thanking those at 
Business Record for their great work, and wishing each member of the 
2017 Forty Under 40 class a long and successful career.
