The Chamber Board of Directors received incredibly talented and supportive nominations in this category, and it is always a hard decision to select the recipient. We appreciate the dedication and hard work for the community from each and every nominee, we are a stronger community because of them. Their efforts do not go unnoticed.
The Joe Cook Lifetime Support nominees are:
- Bert Peckham

- Linda Shearer
- Marilea Mullen
- Rick & Jo Bissell
- Scott Akin
- Nancy Turner
Long term support means people have been there to provide vision, to provide guidance and to provide the help needed to make things happen. These supporters aren’t always in the limelight, sometimes they are the ones providing the quiet, continuous, and much needed help. Sometimes they are the people talking about our community to others, to legislators, to sharing our story and hopes. Tonight’s award winner has done that for us. This Lifetime Support nominee is one of those people who volunteers wherever needed and works quietly behind the scenes.
The recipient of the Joe Cook Lifetime Support Award has provided hours of support to a multitude of endeavors in our community.
Congratulations to the 2021 Joe Cook Lifetime Support Winner, Marilea Mullen for actively working to make our community a better place!
