SANDPOINT — Applications are being accepted through Friday, Nov. 6, for Leadership Sandpoint, a program of the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce.
Members of the class will be part of the chamber's 2027 spring class project.
Each year, Leadership Sandpoint participants select, plan and implement a community project in partnership with a local nonprofit, Joan Urbaniak, chamber executive director, said. Projects may include physical improvements — such as building structures or beautification efforts — or fundraising initiatives.
All projects for the upcoming class must be completed by May 15, 2027.
“Keeping our community vibrant and healthy requires strong, insightful leaders who can work effectively with a variety of groups,” Urbaniak said. “This project provides participants with hands-on leadership experience while making a lasting impact in Sandpoint.”
Eligible local 501c3 nonprofits must have a project in mind that can be scaled for completion or partially completed within the program’s timeframe. Up to five organizations will be invited to present their proposals in a 20-minute presentation on Dec. 16, 2026.
