RUN FOR THE BOARD!
Applications to run for the Board of Directors this year are due on February 15, 2019. Here is some information about the Board and about the election process
to help you decide if you would like to run for a seat.What do they do?
The Intermountain Division Board of Directors consists of PSIA/AASI members who volunteer their time and expertise to the board. They are responsible for the strategic management of our nonprofit corporation. Board members represent the PSIA/AASI membership. They represent their ski schools and the Intermountain Division. The board operates following our Policies and Procedures along with our By-Laws.
What should members want and need from their Directors?
We all want a board member who has passion for the organization, a willingness to volunteer their time, and the desire to be a leader. A board member should have a team-oriented attitude. The board member works to speak with one voice for the entire board.
What does the board do?
The board meets three times a year (summer, fall and spring) in the vicinity of Salt Lake City. Beginning with the summer meeting, there is a strategic planning session that reviews membership data such as event and exam data, and financials of the organization. This is a fact-based assessment of our financial stability and a review of the membership's needs. The board also reviews and revises policies as needed. The board is also fun! We plan the Spring Clinic, discuss new ideas for education, work with the National organization, and learn how our organization that we belong to runs!
