Carol Warren Receives Volunteer of the Month

Carol Warren received the Volunteer of the Month award by the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce at the February Power Lunch.

As a retired teacher in special education, Carol gives her time in multiple nonprofit organizations. Weekly she volunteers at the Bonner Community Food Center, stocking shelves and working wherever needed. She’s an active Sandpoint Rotarian, hosting over 17 exchange students through the Rotary Youth Exchange and volunteering at many Rotarian service projects. To add to an already extensive schedule of volunteering, she also has a full-time volunteer role as the Chamber’s Ambassador Chair, coordinating volunteers for both Chamber and community-wide events, performing ribbon cuttings for new businesses, meeting new member businesses, and representing member businesses on the Board of Directors.

“No matter what the occasion, Carol is always the first to volunteer. Most recently she volunteered on Saturday in our Visitor Center to promote businesses during the annual Mardi Gras celebration,” said the Chamber’s executive director Amy Little. “We are thankful for the amount of time she invests in our community to make it a better place to live and work.”
