The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce would like to recognize Dick Cvitanich, Superintendent for the Lake Pend Oreille School District as the Volunteer of the Month for his countless hours of dedication to the community and educational system.
Mr. Cvitanich is the Superintendent of Schools for the Lake Pend Oreille School District. He has been an educator for 33 years and superintendent for LPOSD since 2006. Besides being a tireless advocate for the schools, students and teachers, Mr Cvitanich has also volunteered what is left of his “free” time with many area organizations. Ever visible in the Sandpoint community, you will find Dick Cvitanich on the Bonner General Hospital Foundation Advisory Council and at various fundraisers and functions for the Rotary Club.
Mr. Cvitanich sits on the Board of Directors for Panhandle Alliance for Education where he helps with numerous fundraisers and grant awards. He has organized the CHaFE 150 bike ride in the past and this year you may even catch a glimpse of him riding in the event. The CHaFE 150 is a long-distance charity bicycle ride event in Idaho and Montana to raise money for early childhood education.
Committed to public education, Mr. Cvitanich is the leader of the Region 1 Superintendents & Idaho Superintendents network. Anyone that is willing to listen and schedule Mr. Cvitanich to speak, he is more than happy to explain the needs of the district and the funding situation. When there was work to be done on the school levy, he made approximately 36 presentations to the Board and community groups to show his support. To increase the visibility of the levy, Mr. Cvitanich even stood on street corners with a sign to promote the levy because he believes so passionately in public education.
Please join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating Dick Cvitanich as the April Volunteer of the Month.
