  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exemplary career 
of City of Hesperia Senior Economic Development Specialist Lisa Lamere, 
who will officially retire from her position on June 22, 2018.
  Since her hiring by the City of Hesperia sixteen years ago, Lisa has 
worked to improve her city and community. During her time, she has 
attracted, retained, and helped to expand businesses that have opened 
or relocated to Hesperia. Additionally, she has worked on grant 
applications to successfully secure state, federal, and private funding 
for projects to improve everything from infrastructure to education. 
When she's not hard at work improving the business environment in 
Hesperia, Lisa is the President of the Mojave River Valley Horseman's 
Association.
  Lisa has been a tremendous asset to City of Hesperia and the entire 
High Desert Community for well over a decade. I congratulate Lisa 
Lamere for her years of service and wish her the best in her 
retirement.
