2025 Sunday River Presidents' Award Recipients
At Sunday River, our team culture is driven by L.E.A.D.S., which stands for: Long-Term Thinking, Excellence in Execution, Attitude is Everything, Develop Great People, and Serve Others First.

L.E.A.D.S. is more than just an acronym—it’s a commitment to our values, guiding how we work and support one another every day.
The Presidents' Awards honor those who set the standard for excellence, lead with integrity, and inspire those around them.
What makes this recognition even more meaningful is that each recipient is voted for by their peers—a testament to the respect and admiration they’ve earned from their fellow team members.
