“Mrs. HOUCHIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate National PEO Week, which starts May 17 and ends May 23, 2026. National PEO Week will celebrate the important contributions of the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) industry, which provides payroll, employee benefits, compliance assistance, and HR services to hundreds of thousands of small and mid-sized businesses that employ more than 4.5 million people. PEOs help small businesses improve productivity and profitability, focus on their core mission, and grow. Through a PEO, employees of small businesses gain access to important employment benefits such as 401(k) plans; health, dental, life, and other insurance; dependent care; and other benefits they might not typically receive as employees of a small company. PEOs also take over back-office tasks that consume time, energy, and resources, enabling small businesses working with a PEO to grow twice as fast, have a 12 percent lower employee turnover, and a higher business survival rate. I know the value that PEOs provide. Before coming to Congress, I worked for a PEO, and I saw firsthand the positive impact they had on small businesses in my home state of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the PEO industry for all they do to help our Nation's small businesses and their employees prosper. [[Page E387]] ____________________”

“Mrs. HOUCHIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an exceptional Indiana leader, Scott Dolson, who has been named the 2026 Athletic Director of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. Mr. Dolson has made history as the first athletic director of Indiana University to receive this honor. This award is a testament to his dedication, leadership, and the remarkable success of Hoosier athletics under his guidance. Over seventeen years at Indiana University, including six as Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, he has helped elevate programs across the board. That includes leading one of the most remarkable turnarounds in college sports, culminating in Indiana Football reaching the top of the sport and earning a national championship--an achievement that brought pride to the entire state. At the same time, student-athletes across programs continue to excel both on the field and in the classroom. Mr. Dolson's contributions to athletics do not stop with Indiana University. He is active in shaping the future of leadership of collegiate sports, including participating in a White House roundtable discussing the future of college athletics, serving as Chairperson of the Big Ten Athletic Directors group, and a part of the NCAA Division I Baseball Selection Committee. I congratulate Scott on this well-deserved honor. I thank him for his contributions to IU athletics, Hoosier athletes, and to our home state of Indiana. ____________________”
