Show INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION SKI SCHOOL DIRECTOR'S MEETING November 15, 1969 8:00 P.M. CrEST BON PARK CITY, UTAH Our primary objective is to organize the ski school directors into a productive unit whereby the individual directors can accomplish their aims. The first step toward organizing this group is to find out the individual purposes this group is to represent and implement. Either b~ mail or upon arrival at this meeting, the following question must be answered if the ski school director is to become a part of this group. WHAT ARE THE MAIN PURPOSES YOU HAVE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF THIS GROUP? The answers to this question will then provide a basis upon which various responsibilities can be distributed. In essence everyone will have something he must do or take care of, but it will be in line with his own purposes. Possible posts that this group should have in order to cover its members purposes are: A. Chairman to run meetings and see that they are productive. B. Secretary to record meetings and receive reports and notify members. C. Treasurer to validate expenses and defray costs among members. D. Liason between ourselves and BOD of ISlA to be responsible for accurate understanding of communication between the two. E. Liason between ourselves and PSIA and all other U.S. ski school directors. F. Liason between ourselves and USSA, ISA, Racing, and Coaches. G. Head of improvement in Certification H. Head of technical analysis I. Head of teaching analysis J. Head of ski-school-directing-problems analysis K. Head of publicity and promotion Everyone must have a post that does in fact do something that will assist the purposes of this group. These responsibilities should be taken on voluntarily. Once the list of posts has been completed and volunteered for, a short discussion of each of these should ensue so that each member will know what the othemexpect of him in that post. At this point we are organized. There is immediate business at hand as regards Certification Policy for the coming winter. Unless we can gain total agreement among ourselves, then we have no right to burden the Certification Committee with our indecision. Yet, if we do have total agreement on any policy or change of procedure, then it certainly deserves their attention on the following day. Thus in the letter or upon arrival at our meeting, the following question must also be answered: WHAT SUGGESTIONS CAN WE POSSIBLY AGREE UPON AS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION BY THE CERTIFICATION COMMITTEE? Any objections to any answers to the above question should be solicited at the meeting after it is organized. The objections should be handled one at a time and resolved as valid or just amisunderstanding which needed clearing up. Patience of all should be solicited here so that each misunderstanding is allowed to be corrected. Man makes mistakes in interpreting another's communication. One such mistake not handled forms the basis of continued misunderstandings along that train of thought. Total agreement can help prevent fuis. At the fall seminar in Park City, Mrs. Margo McDonald (former Walters) suggested that we ski school directors should work closely with I.S.A. We should encourage our instructors to become members of I.S.A. I feel this is a very good idea and may be helpful to our profession. Please submit ski pointers to me, which will be published in newspapers. See you the 15th. y, / /.. ~""""i.U' ~Y~t!:I/~ tlmaier, Chairman Directors, I.S.I.A. |
