SANDPOINT — Sean Mirus has been named the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce's Volunteer of the Month for September.
Mirus has been a strong partner in the development of trail-based recreation in and around Sandpoint, Mickey Quinn, chamber executive director, said. In 2021, Mirus was selected as a volunteer of the year for Pend Oreille Pedalers after dedicating over 20 Thursday evenings of his year to do volunteer trail work.
As a member of Schweitzer's leadership team, Mirus represented the resort in the collaborative development of the Little Sand Creek Watershed Recreation Master Plan, working with POP and city of Sandpoint on that effort throughout 2023. He remains an active volunteer in the trail community and has continuously supported efforts to expand outdoor recreation opportunities for the people of Bonner County, Quinn said.
Mirus serves on the board of the Friends of the Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center, a non-profit to support the USFS Avalanche Center. He also spends time working on Kaniksu Land Trust projects.
Sean has been on the Greater Sandpoint Chamber Board for 12 years but his term on the board is coming to an end Sept. 30. With his knowledge, support, guidance, and assistance he has tirelessly assisted the chamber with Visit Sandpoint tourism projects and advertising, Quinn said.
