Chamber Honors Michelle Anderson

The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce honored Michelle Anderson, Family Nurse Practitioner and founding owner of Pend Oreille Health Care, as October’s Volunteer of the Month for her service to our community at the 2012 Economic Summit. Her volunteerism shines very bright with the various positions she holds around town and the Chamber is very fortunate to have her as an active member.

Michelle has been the medical coordinator for the Sandpoint Scenic Half Marathon since its start in 2009 with primary responsibility for the aid stations. In this capacity, she organized all the medical supplies as well as recruited and coordinated the medical volunteers to ensure the safety of the runners and volunteers.

When asked why Michelle chooses to volunteer her time so generously she responded, “My biggest reason for volunteering  with these organizations and committees is that I believe strongly in what they do and am happy to be part of their team. Nothing ever gets done with one person solely, it is the group that makes the events or organizations happen.”

Michelle’s other volunteer activities include: restarting the Health and Safety committee and acting as either chair or co-chair for 3 years and serving on the Community Cancer Service Board.

Please join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating Michelle Anderson for being honored as the Volunteer of the Month and thanking her for all of her contributions to our community. Her hard work has done a lot for so many causes in our community. From the Greater Sandpoint Chamber as well as the participants and volunteers of the Scenic Half Marathon, Thank You!
