Bassett named chamber's top volunteer

Chris Bassett from MetLife Home Loans received the Volunteer of the Month award from the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, July 9.

Bassett has been an active member and volunteer for the chamber for the last three years. 

He was the chairman of a networking group called Business Connections in 2007 and 2008 and led efforts to organize the annual Business Expo to promote businesses in the region.  He then became the chairman-elect of the board of directors and served this role for the last nine months.

“Chris did a great job stimulating the Chamber Business Connections committee and his commitment to the chairman-elect position was stellar,” said Kelly Prior, CFO of Litehouse and treasurer for the chamber’s board of directors. 

“Although we are sad to see him go, we are happy he is exploring other opportunities with his family.”

 “I can’t say enough about Chris Basset,” said executive director Amy Little.  “He is a cheerful giver of his time and resources to support our local business community,” she said.  “The board and staff of the chamber are thankful for his contributions as a business leader.”
