Meet the Chair Persons

Hello! We are Steve and Georgie Davis from Ramah New Mexico. We are excited and a bit nervous to be serving as Chairpersons over the 2025 trek next summer. We have never had the opportunity to be on a trek, but look forward to working with all the amazing people who have been called to serve the youth in this capacity. We have always loved a great adventure and this will be an adventure for sure. We have 4 children and 8 grandchildren and they are the most amazing people in our lives and truly bring us joy. We love our Savior and are eternally grateful for Him. As we have thought about this calling, our minds have turned to the early pioneers and all the others who followed in the months and years after 1846, those who were guided by their testimonies of the gospel. We are grateful for their strength and dedication. Things are much different in our lives today, but the thing that stays the same are the covenants that we have made, and that it still takes faith to be true to those covenants. We look forward to seeing you all at the upcoming activities and at Trek.

Assistant Chairpersons

Hi there!! We are Austin and Bev Clawson from the Ramah Ward in the Gallup Stake. We will be serving as Assistant Chair Persons assisting Steve and Georgianna Davis in the upcoming Trek of 2025. We have previously been Ma and Pa in Trek but this will be a new adventure! We have four children. Our boy girl twins are both serving missions right now and our youngest two children will be coming to our upcoming Trek.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to be able to serve at Trek. Austin and I have both developed strong testimonies of trek and the spiritual growth experienced there. It teaches us that we can do hard things and that through Christ we will be sustained and blessed. But it’s more than that, it’s a bonding experience that one never forgets. It’s an opportunity to draw closer and depend on Christ.
