Team Cook was delighted to be a presenting sponsor for the 2025 “State of the Chamber” breakfast, hosted by the Greater High Desert Chamber of Commerce. The event showcased the Chamber’s achievements and vision for the future, bringing together local businesses, community leaders, and stakeholders in a celebration of regional progress.

Our Deputy Chief of Staff Dakota Higgins had the honor of delivering opening remarks before introducing Pastor Mark Graham of Abundant Living Family Church HD. Pastor Graham, alongside his daughter, Mykaela, unveiled Project Invisible, an app designed to connect High Desert teens with critical resources, including support, food, and housing assistance. 

During the event, Constituent Services Director Samuel Shoup was honored to accept the Chairman’s Circle Platinum Member award on behalf of our office. This recognition underscores our office’s commitment to fostering strong community partnerships and supporting the Chamber’s mission.

Our gratitude is extended to CEO Mark Creffield, who celebrated his eighth year with the Chamber, as well as Master of Ceremonies Dr. Lisa Lamb, outgoing Chair of the Board Shannon Shannon, Chair Elect Stacy DeVoll, and the entire Chamber team for their ongoing efforts to support businesses in the First District.
