Festival at Sandpoint Welcomes New Board Members

The Festival at Sandpoint is excited to welcome Doug Hawkins Jr. and Eric Paull as the newest members of the nonprofit’s board of directors.

Hawkins joined the Festival board in December 2023. The newest board member, Eric Paull, joined the Festival’s board of directors in February 2024.

Doug Hawkins Jr. is a sixth-generation Sandpoint resident, and he and his wife and their six kids are active in the Bonner County community and enjoy attending the Festival at Sandpoint every year.

Paull grew up in Lewiston and attended Lewis Clark State College, where he received a degree in Business Administration. Upon graduating, he began his career in banking and, in 1995, was fortunate to be transferred to the Sandpoint area. He and his wife Lisa have two children, Bridger and Carson, both graduates of Sandpoint High School.
