Meet our executive director
Brent Baker
In 2022, BCEDC and the City of Sandpoint collaborated to revise the organization’s bylaws, draft a new Strategic Plan, and restate its foundational Purpose, Vision, Mission, and Core Values. In the process, the organization rebranded its operations as the Pend Oreille Economic Partnership, and in December of 2022, hired Brent Baker as the Executive Director and tasked him to guide the fulfillment of that Purpose and Mission.
