(Larsen - Finlinson) Motion carried. The Chairman announced that it would be his intention with the Board's approval to mail copies of Board Minutes, Certification Policies, and By-laws to Ski School Directors and members of the Board of Directors and those who specifically request said mailings rather than just mailing these documents to everyone. It is hoped that this will cut some of the printing costs of the Association. The Chairman asked if there were any objections to such a policy and there were none. The Chairman next reported that Bob Parker, had on behalf of the Technical Committee, attended the recent P.S.I.A. Technical Meeting. Bob Parker then gave an oral report of said meeting and indicated that it was his view that such exposure to the P.S.I.A. Technical Committee was very worthwhile. The Chairman announced that the Presidential vacancy in the Association created by President Clark Parkinson's resignation was the next order of business. A discussion was held in which it was determined that the concensus of the Board was that a President should be elected immediately. Motion: That Edwin J. Pond be nominated and elected to the office of President of the Association to fill the unexpired term of Clark Parkinson, and further that nominations cease and Edwin J. Pond be elected by acclamation. (Finlinson - Hartlmaier) There was some discussion on the Motion at which time Edwin Pond announced that while he would be willing to serve as President until spring of this year, it was his intention not to be a candidate for the Presidency in the spring. He felt it was important that Board members know this prior to voting on the motion, and further that the Board should be on notice of his intention not to run in the spring. The vote was called on the Motion and it was unanimously carried. BOD Meeting - February 24, 1972 Page 2 The Chairman then announced that it was his recommendation to the Board of Directors that all of the officers and committee members now serving the Association should be approved in their present positions and continue to serve the Association. This included an over-lap in that Edwin J. Pond would serve both as President and as Administrative Vice President for the time being. Motion: That we accept the recommendation of President Pond and that all officers and committee members as now constituted remain in their positions and serve in their present capacities. (D. Parkinson - Parker) Motion carried. The Chairman then opened the meeting for discussion regarding the matter of ratification of the By-laws of P.S.I.A. The Chairman announced that he had spoken by phone with Dennis Sanford, Executive Secretary of P.S.I.A. who had indicated that in the event I.S.I.A. joined as a Division with P.S.I.A., that members could come in for $10.00 per member. Motion: That we adopt the written Resolution to ratify the P.S.I.A. By-laws. (Finlinson - Ellis) Fred Finlinson's written Resolution was read to the members and the Chairman instructed that said Resolution be attached to the Minutes of the Meeting. A discussion was held on the Motion and all members present ~ voted for said Motion (Clark Parkinson and Phil Jones had not yet arrived) with the exception of Lex Kunau who opposed the Motion. Edwin Pond informed the Board that although Lou Lorenz was not present, it was his intention to abstain from voting on the Motion even if he were present. Further, Max Lundberg had indicated that if he were present he would have voted for said Motion and Jack Colven had indicated that he was in favor of post-poning the vote. Motion: Motion: That the Registered Apprentices of our Association will also join P.S.I.A. on a Divisional basis along with Associate and Certified members. (Finlinson - D. Parkinson) Motion carried. (one opposed) That the dues for next year for Associate and Fully Certified members of the Association be raised to $25.00, of which $10.00 per member will be a fee charged by the Association and allocated to P.S.I.A.; and that Registered Apprentices dues for next year be raised to $17.00, $2.00 of which is a fee assessed by I.S.I.A. and will be payable to P.S.I.A. (and that the appropriate Association officers are directed to bill the membership accordingly and to remit to P.S.I.A.) (Finlinson - Parker) Motion carried. (one opposed) The Chairman then announced that pursuant to the notice mailed to the Board members, a major purpose of the meeting was to plan the forth-coming Spring Clinic. Upon Motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the following Resolutions were approved: RESOLVED: That the Spring Clinic for 1972 shall be held at Grand Targhee on April 28th, 29th and 30th, 1972.

PAGE 8 OF 15 (MSC) Schneider, Weiss - The 1973 PSIA convention be held in Stowe, Vermont. The Executive Committee shall select the date of the convention, either the second or third week in April. Technical Horst Abraham gave a report on the new method's manual. The Technical committee thinks that the term GLM should be not be identified with the new PSIA approach for the following reasons: 1. GLM is identified with direct parallel. Committee believes that this is a concept that they do not want to identify with. 2. GLM relates to graduated lengths. Committee thinks' that the term "short ski'" is adequate. The committee felt the term "Accelerated Teaching Method (ATM) II is a better description of their system. Four manufactur~s have approached PSIA, and said that they will put TTATMTT on their skies if PSIA approves the term. These manufacturers include Hart, Olin, Spalding, and Brunswick. Ski magazines have agreed to publish articles in their fall issues on "ATMTT. (MSC) Kun, Lenihan - PSIA approve the use of the term "ATMTf. (MSC) Lenihan, Muth - Accept the Technical Committee's report of the Vail Technical meeting. Comments of Technical Committee: 1. The Technical committee needs to distribute written material, and also needs people that can follow up on it. 2. Technical committee needs more meetings to come up with new things. 3. Technical committee is in need of the Demonstration team. Membership should understand that the acceptance of the methods recommended in the new manual are not mandatory for membership in PSIA. Members do not have to agree with the new method. -~~-------- ---- PSIA UNAPPROVED MINUTES PAGE 9 OF 15 (MSC) Muth, Putnam - Need press release drafted by the Executive Committee saying that the new manual is recommended by PSIA but in no way is the only way to do things. Demonstration Team Rene Farwig gave report on the Demonstration team. Mr. Farwig felt that the team should be used for the following: 1. Education - Used in conjunction with the Technical Committee. 2. Promotional purposes. If the team is used for the above items, then the team will need besides a coach, a manager. Rene Farwig should remain the Coach of the D-Team until Spring, 1973. Coaching John Bowerman proposed that the Coaches become a part of PSIA. Some requirements that might be established to become part of the PSIA membership are as follows: 1. Information on technique should be put into PSIA. 2. Film library of coaching be kept year to year. 3. National Coaches School for both interested instructors and coaches. Discussion: divisions. Touring Coaches could belong to PSIA through the individual Coaches committee would set up standards for training. Jack Weisman requested that Touring instructors be included in the PSIA membership. (MSC) Muth, Weiss - PSIA include Touring instructors into PSIA. (MSC) Riley, Muth - Executive Committee exam bylaws for changes to implement Tuuring instructors into PSIA. Discussion: Executive Committee should set up standards for acceptance of Touring instructors so that there will be continuity between the divisions. If the divisions have standards within their structure for Touring instructors, then the problem is self solving. If division does not certify Touring instructors, then PSIA can make provisions for entrance into PSIA. Office will not accept any Touring instructors until the Board of Directors has set up policy.

It was felt by some that Coaching should become part of PSIA. This would help to give the coaches some continuity. Coaches would have to develop technique, and PSIA would disseminate the information. PSIA would be the administrative arm. Problem with discussing the Coaches ]Olnlng PSIA is that PSIA does no know what the USSA is going to do. Jim Bowerman will take charge of working on plans for Coaches to join PSIA. Resolution: PSIA encourages a move by the U.S. Coaches to come under the umbrella of PSIA. Meeting recessed to the Game Room in the Lodge at Vail, Colorado. Meeting reconvened at 9:20 a.m. National Academy James Thompson reported on the Internal Revenue requirements for PSIA UNAPPROVED MINlJTl:S PL\GE 11 OF 15 an educational foundation as classified as a separate urganization from PSIA or as an arm of 1'811\. Under the 501C3 ruling, PSIA would have to ereate a new organization. This covers charitable and educational foundations that in part will be sponsored by donations. Under the 501(6 - The academy would be part of PSIA, and fall under a Trade Association. If PSIA is hoping to secure a government grant, which would be classified as a donation, then they should consider making the Academy a separate entity, so as to fall under ~le 501C3. Mr. Thompson suggests that PSIL\ keep product endorsements out of the foundation, and have !'SI1\. mal,e contributions to the foundation. (MSC) Riley, Muth - Executive COnTIllittee direct and authorize the establishment of an educational foundation under 501C3 of the IRS under the purposes established by PSIA. (MSC) Lenihan, Putnam - Proceed to formulate plans for a National Academy, first session to be held in the Spring of 1973 with a pilot program for the SLUnmer of 1973 at Timberline Lodge or some other appropriate place.

This c..:an be changed to become non taxable income, if it prescribes to the following: If royalty income is incidental to the endorsement of products that promote safety and good skiing, then these royal ties would be exempt. If the Executive Committee determines standards, and looks at products in some systematic method so as to meet these standards, and then PSIA endorses these products and incidently receives income from this endorsement then it would become non taxable. (MSC) Riley, Putnam - Executive COITUlli ttee be authorized to change licensing agreement to come under non taxable. Intermountain Ed Pond, President of the Intermountain D:i vision, was introduced. Intermountain was asked to send the Intermountain Board of Directors T resolution stating that they will officially become a member of PSIA as of July, 1972, to the PSIA offic..:e. PSIA UNAPPROVED MINUTES PAGE 12 OF 15 Don Lemos Discussion by the Board on non Lemos' expected presentation before the general membership meeting. The subject of ])on Lemos' presentation is the right of professional instructors to have teaching permits on Forest Service land leased to ski areas. It was felt that Mr. Lemos should be allowed to speak, but that PSIA should make no formal statement for or against the issue.

Ethics Committee DATE: April 28, 1972 RE: Kay Smith/Rudy Robles Incident After investigation of the above incident and conversation with various witnesses to same, and discussion with Kay Smith at a regular con ... vened session of the Ethics Committee, and whereas Mr. Smith has indicated his intention to retire and cease to be involved in any way in ski instructing; and whereas the letter of complaint from Rudy Robles is now to be regarded as a personal letter and not an official Forest SeIVice communication; and whereas there can be little benefit to the Association by treatIng Mr. Smith in a punative manner. Therefore, the Ethics Committee recommends that the Board of Directors accept Mr. Smith's request for retirement or in the alternative does no more than impose upon him a manditory retirement. /Y~~ Ken Pe rkins, Chai rman Ethics Committee PRESIDENT"S REPORT OUTLINE Exhibit D On Friday, the 14th of April, I attended a P.S. LA. Board Meeting in Vail, Colorado, on behalf of Intermountain. Items discussed at said meeting were: 1. Possible cooperation between P.S.I.A. and the United States Ski Association. 2. National Ski Academy and its possible funding as a foundation. 3. By-Law revisions to enable associate members to have a full vote. 4. Employment of foreign instructors, i. e., registration, contact with Department of Labor and Ski School Directors, policy. The Board of Directors was very hospitable to myself as the Intermountain observer and offered us a vote in said meeting; however, I pointed out to them that our Board of Directors resolution did not make our ratification effective until July 1 of this year. They indicated that they felt like we had always been a member of the National Association and this was merely a formality. They requested a copy of our resolution, which I have since mailed to them.

This matter was deferred until tomorrows meeting. The President asked for and received an oral report from Clark Parkinson concerning the Newsletter which indicated four Newsletters would be published this season. President Lange announced that we had a bid from Snowbird to host the annual Spring Clinic of the Association and proposed on the 4th or 5th day of May that we hold such a Clinic.

A discussion was held concerning individuals who no longer reside in our Association but wish to pay $15 dues to the Association and it was determined that we accept them as members without the P.S.I.A. portion. The President read a letter from Jeff Hill to The Board of Directors which letter indicated unhappiness with the mailings of the Association and the certification policy currently being followed. A letter was written in response to Mr. Hill's letter by Edwin Pond and said letter was also read at the Board Meeting. After a discussion, the Board determined not to waive any late fees with regard to Jeff Hill or any other individuals. The meeting was adjourned until 8:30 in the morning.

The certification policy was reviewed paragraph by paragraph by The Board of Directors. (MSC) Parkinson, Haskins - that the Certification Policy as presented by Max Lundberg and modified by The Board be approved and attached to these Minutes. (See attachment "F") After a discussion of the score card, the Certification Committee was directed to develop the score card further by utilizing the present one and making any changes it feels necessary over the next few months. Max Lundberg reported that the Committee will ask for teaching approaches from each ski school so as to be better informed as Examiners. (MSC) Pond, Parkinson - that we approve the format presented by Max Lundberg and modified by The Board of Directors and attach said format to these Minutes.

ASSOCIATE VOTE . It was approved by the PSIA Board to give full voting powers to all Associate members in good standing. This recommendation by the Board will be presented to the membership in April at the Stowe Conference which should prove interesting. INSURANCE (See attached exhibit) A complete insurance program was submitted to the Board by March-McLenen Insurance Brokers. and the PSIA Board elected to participate only in the Disability Income Protection portion at this time. We felt that the PSIA should seek more bids on the hospital income, accident insurance and term life to compare rates. This is on an individual participation basis, but from what I can find out the cost is impossible to beat. ATM-GLM The GLM, ATM controversy was discussed and it was felt that the use of the initials ATM should be dropped and referred to by name (American Teaching Method). ATM is not an accelerated teaching method or instant paralell system. The American Teaching Method is a GLM (short ski) approach to skiing. PSIA feels that we should move away from the initials GLM and use the term "SHORT SKI". DUES INCREASE It was agreed by the Board not to raise the dues of Full or Associate members for the 1972-73 or 1974-75 season. GLOVE SALES Over 1,000 pairs of gloves were purchased by the PSIA membership as of September 1st, which indicates a need for endorsement of products for an added income source. ·This is approximately 20% of the membership participating. SKI INST.. RUCTOR OF THE YEAR The Board has asked for a study group to determine an equitable way to make an unbiased choice for this award. It will be initiated at the division level with some kind of booklet submitted to the PSIA office for evaluation. BOARD MEMBER SUBSTITUTION The Board approved the use of a substitute respresentative if the regular PSIA Board member cannot attend a Board meeting. The division may appoint another member of their division to represent them at this meeting. This individual shall have all rights and authority of the divisionial representative. Prior to the Board meeting a letter from the division must be sent to the PSIA office naming the substitute. ANNUAL CONVENTION The PSIA annual convention will be held in Stowe, Vermont, Apd 12-15, 1973. Instructors from France, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Japan will be there to demonstrate their techniques and discuss their various methods. MANAGEMENT SEMINAR The PSIA will conduct a Management Seminar on November 19-20, 1972 for Ski School Directors and Supervisors. The cost of the seminar will be $100.00 for PSIA members and $125.00 for non-members. The meeting will be held in Vail, Colorado. CERTIFICATION OF TOURING INSTRUCTORS The PSIA is in the process of setting standards of certification of cross-country touring instructors. As of this meeting, the Board voted not to accept this type of member into the PSIA on the same basis as the alpine instructor, but provisions are being investigated into a way to accept them into the Association. It was recommended that each division attempt to cooperate with this type of instructor and encourage them to become registered with the division.

From: Bill Haskins Subject: Resignation Gentlemen: I write this letter with mixed emotions to say the least. Due to a change in jobs, I find it necessary to submit my resignation to the B.O.D. of I.S.I.A. effective September 30, 1972. I also must reluctantly resign the position of CoChief Examiner for the 72-73 season, and my place on the I.S.I.A. Demonstration Team. The change which dictates this decision is that I have accepted the Ski School Directorship at Schweitzer Basin in Idaho. The area is located in P.N.S.I.A. and I feel that I should transfer into that division. I wish to express my appreciation to the Board and the Membership of I.S.I.A. for the opportunity to serve them over the last six years. I would also like at this time, to recommend to the B.O.D. that they appoint former Board member and present Vice President of Commurlications, Bob Bybee to fill my unexpired term. vIR: sh cc: Keith Lange rIJax Lundberg Robin Locke Sincerely yours, Bill Haskins i I I -7 no? /46?J~;" '--'- ~ ~ .
