During the year we have experienced some sweet success and some sour failure. The success I attribute to the hard work and devotion of active members. The failures must be the responsibility of members who should be more involved. To those who have given so much time and effort to the association, I would like to say thanks. To those who fall in the other category I can only encourage more dedication and involvement. All of us should be aware of the areas of ISlA's greatest accomplishments. In the fall of 1968, Phil Jones was given the responsibility of putting on his first Examiners Clinic. ISlA enjoyed its best attended and most widely accepted· Examiners Clinic under his direction. Through the winter the certification program functioned in an efficient and orderly manner. I thank all who were involved in our certification program for a job well done. In the spring of 1969 we all discovered how much fun and information could be stuffed into a Spring Clinic. Everyone who actively participated in the Spring Clinic knows that it was the best ever. Thanks go to Keith Lange, Bill Haskins, Andy Shearer and the many others who put so much into this program. Though we took more time than we should have to get it off the ground, I am sure you I.S.I.A. Annual Meeting - 10/26/69 Page 3 Appendix A (continued) all recognize the fine job that Lex Kunau has done in producing ISlA News and Views. The only thing lacking in the news letter is more participation from each member of our association. Thank you for your service to ISlA Lex. All of our members will hear about the trip taken this fall by myself and Phil Jones. The PSIA meeting in Toronto was an indication to all of us that ski instructors in the United States are coming of age. It was a pleasure to see men with divergent ideas sitting down together to try and develop a more representative national organization. We are as you know by now on our way to new and exciting challanges. As President of ISlA I thank all of you for the effort you are making to make our organization stronger. You have selected a strong group of men to represent you on ISlA's board of directors. It is a pleasure to work with men who insist that every member be considered in the decisions made by the boards. Thanks to all who have been of assistance and respect for & 1 who have not. Appendix B - Certification Committee Report Respectfully Submitted Max Lundberg, President There were 13 exams held during the 68-69 ski season. The breakdown on these exams by areas is as follows: Alta 18 cnadidates, Bever Mtn. 18, Blizzard Mtn. 1, Brighton 8, Gorgoza 11, Kelly Canyon 7, Magic Mtn. 3, Park City West 2, Pomerelle 1, Rotarun 3, Skyline 7, Snow Basin 5, Snow King 2, Soldier Mtn. 3, Solitude 5, Sundance 8, Teton 5. This gives a total of 114 candidates. Of this total, 90 took exams for assoc. cert. with 40 passing on 44.4%. During the 67-68 season we had a total of 151 candidates, 103 of these took exam for assoc. cert. and 43 passed for 41.7%. In 68-69 season 24 candidates took exam for full and 1 passed for 4.1%. In 67-68 42 candidates took exam for full with 18 passing for 4.28%. There were 43% fewer candidates going for full in the 68-69 season opposed to the 67-68 season. We had 115 people register with the I.S.I.A. last year. An area breakdown on this total is as follows: Alta 29, Beaver Mtn. 11, Blizzard Mtn. 1, Brighton 6, Gorgoza 9, Kelly Canyon 9, Magic Mtn. 2, Park City 13, Park City West 1, Rotarun 3, Skyline 6, Snow Basin 1, Snow King 2, Soldier Mtn. 3, Solitude 7, Sundance 8, Teton 3, Bear Bulch 1. An examiners clinic was held in November of last year at Park City. This was open for participation by all ski school directors and people that had been certified two years. This year's examiners clinic will be open only to people that have been used as examiners, and people used as back up examiners. The certification committee has re written the certification policy to make it read easier. The registration program has had considerable attention resulting in some minor changes. At this time I would like to read a copy of a letter sent to me by one of our members. The names of the people involved will not be mentioned in this report. Rosemount Engineering Company 12001 West 78th Street Eden Prarie, Minnesota 55343 Gentlemen: I am a certified ski teacher affiliated with Intermountain Ski Instructors Association. My certification number is 325. I.S.LA. Annual Meeting - 10/26/69 Page 4 Appendix B (continued) In December of 1967, I bought a pair of Rosemount boots, size 8. Although I am a female instructor, I have been able to pack my boots satisfactorily to obtain a good fit and have thoroughly enjoyed skiing on them for the past two seasons. I'm plenty excited about the new boot designed for women. My ski school director attended a clinic in Alta, Utah for ski school directors (he also skis on Rosemount boots) for the purpose of discussing Intermountain Certification Examination Policy. Phil Jones, Director of Certification Exams stated, "No one can pass for full certification on Rosemount boots because it is impossible to ski a good turn on them." Would it be possible for you to contact Mr. Phil Jones at Intermountain Ski Instructors Association, 3135 North 575 East, North Ogden, Utah 84404 and ask him to clarify his statement. I have discussed this matter with my Ski School Director and he has documented the statement by Mr. Phil Jones. I intend to send both copies of my letter to you. FOR THE RECORD . Last April, I was allowed to pay $25 to be examined by an examination board designated by Mr. Phil Jones. I was wearing Rosemount boots. This board knew before the examination that they would not pass me for fullcertification due to the fact that I was wearing your boots. Is this not deception? I paid this Board of Examiners $25 to watch me sweat. At the end of the exam, we received no critique either by mail or verbally from the Board. Thank you for letting me bend your ear. May I please receive literature on your new boots for women? I would like to order my boots for the 69-70 season. Also, the next time your area representative is in the area, I would enjoy having him call on me. Thank you. I would like to say that at no time do we discriminate against people because of equipment, personality, sex or color. It is very difficult to do this job and please everyone. This concludes my report. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my committee of Jack Colven, Woody Anderson, Max Lundberg, Lou Lorenz, Clark Parkinson, Glenn Evans, Dave Parkinson, and also our Executive Secretary, Mary Ellen Parkinson. Appendix C - Secretary's Report Respectfully submitted, Phil Jones, Chairman Certification Committee, I.S.I.A. In my report to you last year, I stated my intention to resign from this office because the time spent was keeping me from my own business. In the B.O.D. meeting the following day, I was nominated again for this position, and due to the change in the Presidency, I agreed to stay on for another 6 months to help ease the transition for the new administration. As time passed, I felt it advisable to continue another full year and, accordingly, have asked the President to replace me as Secretary effective Oct. 26, 1969. This year has been very productive, and the efforts of this office have been spent primarily in implementing programs and changes made by the B.O.D. last October. Specifically, a permanent office of Executive Secretary was approved and Mary Ellen Parkinson was hired by the President for this job. My time was spent in setting up an office for I·.S.I.A. Annual Meeting - 10/26/69 Page 5 Appendix C (continued) her and training her in the various procedures of running the Associationls administrative business. Mary Ellen has done an excellent job and has through her connections with DuMac, Inc., our printer, saved the Association considerable time and money. Her experience in taking our B.O.D. meeting minutes for the last several years has given her an insight into our organization, which 11m sure has been to our advantage and which 11m sure no other non-member would have. The Executive Secretaryls office processed the following: Certification Exam Applications Registered Applications Memberships Processed New Members Processed Compensation The Association census is: Full Certified Associate Certified Retired Honorary Total Members Registered Total 1968-69 114 107 433 40 $768 1968-69 167 213 7 2 389 74 463 1967-68 151 8 427 46 $729 1967-68 181 217 8 2 408 8 416 During the year, from the October 27, 1968, B.O.D. meeting to date, 40 members were dropped due to non-payment of dues. Many of these people were delinquent for 2 even 3 years and were not previously dropped. Many of these had moved from our area and had no interest in maintaining their membership with us. In addition, we have 13 members who have placed on an inactive status due to military service, Peace Corps, etc. Another major job of implementation this year was the permanent I.D. cards distributed to you. Each member who sent in a photograph was sent a card. This involved typing new cards for some 400 members, cutting photographs to fit the card, attaching an expiration stickers, and then laminating each card. With the help of Bob Larsen and my personal secretary, all cards were distributed before the ski season began last year. This initial work was well sp~ntJPpwever, since this system has eliminated the time consuming job of typing and distributing new cards this fall. It also makes for a more attractive and permanent card which among other things will prevent abuse of our membership privileges. Our office also implemented the new Dues Pre-Payment System which, on my recommendation, the B.O.D. approved last year. As a result of this procedure of paying dues by no later than July 1st for the coming season and being billed in March so ski school income can be used to pay dues, it resulted in 90% of members and registered individuals paying their dues prior to July 1. Only 20 members, as of this date, will be required to pay the late fine. Probably the most significant change last year that our office had to implement and administer was the Registered Program. In order to take a certification exam, a candidate was required to become registered. This program was beneficial from the standpoint of added income to the Association (approximately $1,000), candidates being better prepared for exams, and getting requirements out of the way before an exam. But its implementation by the ski schools was extremely slow. This, of course, resulted in candidates registering and making application for an exam at the same time. Lack of understanding by Ski School Directors and Certification Area Representatives of this program resulted in candidates not completing the necessary requirements for registration until after an exam, submitting the wrong forms or no forms at all, and in general, causing delay, duplication, confusion, and a lot of extra work for the Executive Secretary, Certification Chairman, and Secretary. Hopefully, this year registration procedures will be simplified and better explained to Ski School Directors and Area Representatives and to non-member certification candidates. f.S".I.A. Annual Meeting - 10/26/69 Page 6 Appendix C (continued) It has been a pleasure serving as Secretary these past 2 years. I've enjoyed the relationship of those members I've worked with, and I'm pleased with the progress which has been made in streamlining the Association's administrative procedures. I feel I have made a contribution to the Association and hope to continue doing so in the future. Sincerely, Clark T. Parkinson, Secretary Appendix D - Treasurer's Report In accordance with the instructions of your President and Treasurer, we have made an examination of the books and records of Intermountain Ski Instructors Assoc. for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1969, and present herewith a balance sheet as at the close of business June 30, 1969 and a comparative statement of cash receipts and disbursements. Since our engagement did not include all necessary auditing procedures pertaining to the assets and liabilities of the organization, no opinion is expressed with the over-all representation of the statement submitted. The balance sheet does not include receivables nor payab1es, inasmuch as no attempt was made to confirm the accuracy or co11ectabi1ity of the receivables, and the payab1es appeared to be of an insignificant nature. It should be noted that the total cash receipts for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1969 exceeded cash disbursements by $2,426.41. Special note should also be made that during this fiscal year association dues were collected both for the present and ensuing year, thus doubling the income from this source compared to past years. Had this not occurred, you would have had disbursements exceeding receipts for the year of approximately $600. Also, please note that you had a beginning inventory on July 1, 1968 of 119 pins costing $1.66 each, or a total of $197.54. Of these pins you had 55 old pins remaining at the end of the year that we gave no value and eight pins costing $1.66 each available for future sale. Thus, your inventory was reduced at the end of the year to $13.28. The pins that were dispensed and the pins that were on hand with no value cost a net of $184.26 on which you realized $62.50 from sales. The surplus added to the net worth for the current fiscal year on the balance sheet represents the excess cash receipts for the period of $2,426.41 less the $184.26 cost of pins described above. BALANCE SHEET as of June 30, 1969 ASSETS: Cash in Bank Pin Inventory (8 @ $1.66) 1 TOTAL ASSETS LIABILITIES NET WORTH: Surplus to 6/30/68 TOTAL LIABILITIES & NET WORTH $ $ Respectfully submitted, Louis D.
