Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dougal Nelson for receiving the Karl Flemke Pioneer Achievement Award for his work with Junior Achievement of the Heartland through Junior Achievement USA.
Mr. Nelson was very honored to win this award, which is given to first-time presidents of Junior Achievement organizations throughout the country with between 2 and 6 years of service in their role. Nelson was among five others nominated. Junior Achievement of the Heartland, a member of the global JA network, has been serving young people in the Quad-Cities and surrounding areas for 66 years--equipping them with the skillset and mindset to create sustainable businesses, find meaningful employment, and build thriving communities. Mr. Nelson exemplifies the mission statement of Junior Achievement of the Heartland, which is to
``inspire and prepare young people to succeed.'' As CEO, Mr. Nelson believes it is his job to put the right people in the right places to help children succeed and says that his staff and the community are to thank for him receiving this award. Because of his strong leadership, he was able to build a culture of trust within the organization and make a big difference for youth in the community. I commend Mr. Nelson for his resolve to help the youth in the Quad Cities and surrounding areas.
It is because of strong community leaders such as Dougal Nelson that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Dougal Nelson for winning the Junior Achievement organization's Karl Flemke Pioneer Achievement Award.
