Dave Parkinson, Secretary I j FROM: Elections Study Group Lou Lorenz, Chairman Max Lundberg Clark Parkenson Ed Pond TO: Members of ISlA SUBJECT: Proposed change in method of electing directors of ISlA REVIEW During the ~arly years of ISlA, general meetings were small and informal. BUSiness and election of directors was quickly accomplished. All members participated becuase all members attended every clinic as a general rule. As the membership increased and Sun Valley was included in the ISlA a trend of attending only every other clinic was established by some members and Sun Valley members were not required to attend at all. To provide a means of representation, the proxy vote became a tradition. In an effort to provide more time for "on the hill" clinic work, the Board changed the time of the qeneral meeting to a fall date, and established the Annual Fall Seminar and General Meeting. Since it is, for various reasons, impractical for many members to attend a fall meeting, the proxy vote has become an even stronger election factor. It was called to the attention of the Board during the 1970 Spring Clinic that the members would rather participate directly in elections than by proxy. Therefore, this study group was appointed to explore methods to allm'l the entire membership to elect directors. PAGE TWO CONS !DERATION: The study group considered the following possibilities: (1) To again hold the general meeting and elections during the Annual Spring Clinic. (2) To hold a nomination meeting during the Spring Clinic and vote by rna il shortly after. (3) To devise a method of nominatinq candidates and voting by mail prior to the clinic. then announce the successful candidates and hold the first "new" Board meeting at the conclusion of the Clinic. The study group felt that #1 would be a step backward and only recreate most of the problems experienced in the past further entensified by a larger membership. Also, a proxy vote would still have to be allowed for some members. #2 would still require time away from the hill and not allow full participation in the nominations. #3 coul d be worked out, and resulted in the fo 11 owi nq proposal: PROPOSAL: That a nomination .and election cornnittee be appointed to administer the following system. PAGE THREE ,LoJf(~\ S,JoA:Y ' /' \\ /// \/'/ The committee shall contact members through Skl schools // \. / \ \ / and othe~methods and select a minimum number_of candidates for the Board. Names of these ,/ candidates shall then be published to the members along with a request for ~f:t further nominations. Any member may nominate a candidate by submitting a ~l petition for nomination, signed by the nominee and five other members. Of course, petitions must be received on or before specified deadline date. A ballot printed with names of all candidates shall then be sent out along with or at the time of dues billing and Clinic notice. This ballot properly marked and identified will then be returned along with a check for the following year dues. A final tally of votes and announcement of successful candidates shall be made at some time during the Clinic and a meeting of the New Board held immediately following. New officers shall be elected at that board meeting. CONCLUSION: ~ 9~ The study group feels that the above method wi 11 provide for 100% parti ci pa ti on in both nominations and elections. It wi 11 also previde for time to campaign for the office (Possibly a brief resume for each candidate could be published in a newsletter.). It would give the voting member a chance to consider his vote very carefully. This method will allow the Board and new officers the entire summer to set up the next years program. It will provide adequate time and a purpose for a Fall Seminar and General Meeting. Respectfully Submitted, Lou Lorenz, Chairman Election Study Group .... ,/.- --_ ........ , , INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION Mr. Lou Lorenz Chairman, Study Group Methods of Electing Directors Re: Election Methods for Directors Dear Lou: 466 East 5th South Salt Lake City, Utah September 3, 1970 As a member of your committee regarding the above-captioned matter, it seems appropriate to me at this time to report to you the conclusions I've come to on this subject. Our present system of electing Directors, i.e. by vote of the association members in person and/or by proxy has advantages and disadvantages. Members of our association have suggested that we look into the feasability of an election by direct mail, and this may have many advantages and/or disadvantages. Obviously, the purpose of the panel discussion in our coming seminar has as its aim the object of discovering which system or any other system has more advantages than disadvantages to the Association as a whole. Let me first indicate that I believe that the stagger system we employ, wherein one-third of the Directors employ a three-year term as Director, is at this time a good system for us. The advantage or the disadvantage of this system, depending upon your point of view, is that it tends to promote stability in our Board of Directors and this stability is good so long as the Board truly serves the association. Of course it makes it more difficult for outside interests to obtain control of a majority vote on the Board with any degree of swiftness. Such outside interests are forced to elect their own candidates for the vacant seats at each election meeting and are forced to do so over a period of years in order to gain such a illajuliLy vote. In my view, chis is a good system since this insures that there are on the Board at all times, a number of Directors who have been involved with the association and its problems over .a period of years. Hence, in the management of the Association's affairs and making of decisions affecting future policies there are always available for the benefit of the members the past experience and knowledge thus gained. As to the method of election, under our present system of electing Directors, we require that only the members that are present may exercise their voting rights unless they have signed and delivered a valid proxy allowing another member to vote in their stead. Of course this proxy can only be voted if the person tovhom the proxy is signed does in fact attend the meeting. While our articles and by-laws make no provision for proxy vote, Section 16-6-29 Utah Code Annotated, clearly gives us the privilege of exercising the proxy vote in our association. Mr. Lou Lorenz -2- September 3, 1970 Section 16-6-30 Utah Code Annotated, provides that Directors or officers may be elected by the membership of a non-profit corporation by mail, providing that a Board Resolution or a By-law authorizing the same has been passed. If we went to a direct mail type of election of Directors, some of our former problems would be solved, i.e., we would probably involve more members in the election process. This assumes that more members would mark a ballot and mail it in than are currently marking and mailing in proxies. But I think it is more interesting and I think more members would feel the ballot more important than the proxy and we would receive more response. Further, the costs would not be appreciably higher than current mailing costs. I suppose we would have to nominate a slate of Directors at the Fall Seminar and possibly mail out the ballots after that meeting, and if that were the case, I assume the nomination of Directors would occupy a larger role in our association. In my view the disadvantage of the direct mail vote lies in that we would lose the face to face confrontation of our present system which I view as an advantage. Regardless of how effective our newsletter becomes and any other materials that might be sent out to members, nothing will improve membership relations more than the face to face confrontation which can and should take place at the annual meeting. (It is my view that whatever we do in other regards, the Fall Seminar without an election would compensate and be sufficient.) In the event a direct mail vote were not used by the association it seems necessary that the association continue to utilize a system of proxy voting so as to be able to obtain as many members approval as necessary on different questions. Even though the Board of Directors has the general responsibility of management of the association, it has the obligation also to obtain the approval of the membership when any change of a fundamental nature arises. The confrontation spoken of above is an advantage of our present system and is enhanced by the reports given to the membership by the officers at the annual meeting. In the event we choose to retain our present system of electing Directors, I would think that the election of officers at least, should be moved to the spring rather than the fall for reasons already discussed in Board meetings, i.e. to give new officers more time to prepare and outline their work before the ski season arrives. My above comments are rathcr gencral but it seems to me that going from our present system to a direct mail election is a rather general change. I am interested in your views and the other views of those on the committee and other members of the association and I look forward to the exchange weIll have at our coming Seminar. EJP:mep cc: t{'lark Parkinson Max Lundberg Very sincerely, Edwin J. Pond, Committee Member TO: Board of Directors, I. S. I. A. and Ski School Directors FROM: Edwin J. Pond SUBJECT: Office of President September 4, 1970 This letter is to inform you of my intention to seek the office of President in our Association. In the event you are inclined to support me in this matter, please be advised that it would be my desire that Andy Shearer fill the position of Vice-President. However Andy and I would depart from the traditional practice in our Association of appointing the Vice-President as Chairman of the Certification Committee. I see no reason why the Vice-President should necessarily be appointed Chairman of the Certification Committee, and it would be my intention to present the Certification Chairman and all other committee heads to the Board for approval. It is further my view, that the position of Vice-President can most effectively serve the Association as an administrative aid to the President. Hence, I hereby solicit your support for the office of President of I. S. I. A. Very sincerely, EDWIN J. POND EJP/bp -WI ICA PARROITI «@o Division of Parrott & Co.

N.J. 07072 • Telephone: (201) 935-0750 12 September 1970 Fhil Jones Certification Chairman Intennountain Ski Instructors Association Pe rk City, Utah Chairman Jones Recommendation: At the annual fall certification seminar, a substantial block of time be scheduled for discussion of possible revision of the certification examination. Since I hove been a member or' ISlA, the most oi'ten repeeted complaint about the aBsociation has been the inadequacy or' the certification examination, whiCh 01' course involves the chairnm, the committee, end the examiners. The f'aul t, hOt'lever, has not lain Ylith these people as such, but re'cncr with the procedure used in the exarr;ination. \'loody Anderson, Lou Lorenz, Don Rhinehe.rt, and yourself have been 8n::ong the most able in the associ8tion. Alr.:'ost without excepti on the exaroiners have been extremely competent. 'dhy then has there continually been so much bickering and bad feeling aroused by the certificetion exams? The answer to the question is cOfJplex in detail, but in general can be broken down into three parts. First, the candidates are never sure <,rf1at is rignt and what is ivrong ,men he studies :md practices for the exam (,'Ihat do they vlent this year?). Second, durinG the exam, the ce.ndidstes are never left Vlitll. the feeling that they have had the opportunity to S,10W the examiners what they really cen do. And third, the candida tes >vho feil never heve the reasons for their failure adequately expleined to then. If you \O/ill notice, all three of these problerr;s have been stated from the cendidate's view point. :::10 mat1.er haN fair tne eXar:J actually is, it !!latters li "t.tle if the candidete does not think it \'/8S fair to him. The certification commit.tee must revise the exarnination procedure ,'lith the cendidFlt.p more in rr;ind, end less ;.,i th the exaniiners in mind. The exmn as now structured is or[';8nized by the exan:iners, for the examiners. The exam must be structured by the examiners, but for the candidate. In the pest, the certificst:i.on serd.nar has dealt primarily \'1ith improving the ability of the exar:liners, but incompetent exal'1.in8rs, like De, have been used so rarely, that I do not think this should be the main concern of' the fall meetin!;. I hope to see the exalli, rether than the examiners, receive tte bulk of the attention this fall. Yours ~ Sid Jenson Paul Valar, President Walter Graf, Vice President Paula K.

Box 548 Burley, Idaho Dear :fv1ax, September 12, 1970 I am writing this letter to you and requesting that my membership in the ISI.A be reinstated. I am delinquent last years dues, and the reason I did not remit them was because I was unable to attend an eastern ski clinic due to an injury I sustained towards the end of last ski season. Eastern ski clinics are few and far between; however I plan to attend this season. For the past four years I have been actively teaching skiing in New Jersey (not the best ski and snow conditions, but the man-made stuff isn't as bad as I thought it would be.) Last year and this year I will be instructing at Vernon Valley ski area. Since teaching in the east I have realized the value of my certification in the ISlA, and I do not want it to become inactive because it has been very valueable to me since I have been in the east, especially the training in ski technique and style which I received through the ISlA. If the opportunity arises I w::uld appreciate you bringing this matter up at the fall seminar and general meeting in Idaho, and would appreciate an answer from the association at its earliest convenience. I remain sincerely y~urs, K~2/dy~ Neil '.taylor 31 Harbor Drive Lake Hopatcong New Jer~7849 CERTIFIED SKI TEACHER 1. S. 1. A.

C'EST 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 1. Head of teaching analysis J. Head of ski-school-directing-prob1ems 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 othe~expect 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. ~;/~~/~ t1maier, Chairman Directors, I.S.I.A. reptcmter 29, 1970 n:J2i: I~lat:!, T.

AN ]rrf~Cl;TIVE SECHETiU(Y. '.{ith the expanding membership of our Association and the increase in membership in the last few years, it has become necessary to consider changing the present administrative functions of the S.ecretary and Treasurer of the Association. This proposal outlines a method by which several other large ski associations around the country have solved their a&ninistrative problems. I. :FUP-POSE: '1'0 provide a more effective means of administering the Association's business by consolidation of many separate functions under one responsibility, thereby, eliminating duplication, delay, and inefficiency. The Executive 3ecretary would have the duties and responsibilities of the Secretary as defined in the By-Laws, plus additional functions as outlined below. II. GEHEHAL FUNCTIONS: This office will be the administrative office of the Association. It will be responsible to the President III. DUTIES: and the Board of Directors and will coordinate all business related activities with the various Committee Chairmen. A. i-iemiJership - ;!uintain an active, retired, honorary, and registered roster of the membership on a current basis. Issue membership cards, collect and deposit all membership fees and assessments. B. Certification - Process all certification applications received from the Certification Chairman. Issue memberships to successful candidates and delJOsit the certification fees. The office will retain the Association pin inventory and distribute them as neCfl ssary • in addition, the inventory of all printed naterial such as By-Laws, certification applications and plans for certification, etc. will be maintained and distributed from this office. C. Board and i.nnual ;;eeting - Forward notices and assessments relating to the me<?tings. heep minutes and forward all correspondence relating to the business to the Board. D. Spring Clinic - Coordinate \-lith the Glinic Chairman regarding the adrainistrative details of the clinic. These duties would involve notification, registration, collection of clinic fees, and related activities. E. Association Intere.c,ts - This office would serve as a clearing house for -- ------ ------- 2 all outside requests for membership rosters, endorsenents, etc. The Executive Secretary would serve as spokesman for the Associat:ion with regard to policy and business practices to the general public and ski related businesses. 'The 3ecretary will utiliz,e the services of a professional mailing service to reproduce and mail mass type mailings. IV. CO;·frEj3LTION: The Executive .:3ecretCiry would be allowed funds to compensate ~-~---- a secretary or other person doing the routine and day to day work of the office on a piece work basis. Each certification application ljrocessed would be assigned a dollar value of $2, in addition, a dollar value of ~l would be placed on the total rnem.bersh~_p of the Association for the work done relating to membership, roster, and dues work •. It should be agreed that at the end of the first year, the compensation formula should be :;"e'lic1Jcd :JY the Joard of Directors to see if it should be adjusted. It should be emphasized here, that the Executive 3ecret0ry, as such, is not being compensated or given a salary for this position. The work done by his office is being compensated on a piece work basis. The Secretary shall post a bond in such sum and with such suraties as the Board may, from time to time, order and the pre:nium on such bond shall be an expense of the Association. ---.---~---- INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION September 30, 1970 TO: I.S.I.A. Board of Directors SUBJECT: I.S.I.A. Newsletter Dear Board Hember: Attached is an outline of the purpose, content, and approach of our Newsletter. This is part of a letter which I sent Lex l,unau regarding the Newsletter. Since several of you will be Committee Chairmen, I felt that you should be aware of what part you will play in the Newsletter operation and what the Newsletter is for. Please read this. I feel very strongly that if we do not effectively cormnunicate to our members, we have lost the ball game. CTP: ld Attachment Sincerely, Clark T. Parkinson President I.S.I.A. NEWSLETTER PURPOSE: The original purpose of the Newsletter was to eliminate numerous mailings to the general membership of committee minutes and items of business. The year prior to the first Newsletter, the Association spent $2,500 in printing expense. The Newsletter idea was approved on the basis that it would ultimately reduce our "communication" expenses and would be a more efficient method of communicating to the members. Up to the time of the Newsletter, it was common to receive from the Association a bulk of minutes, announcements, etc., which were never read. M. [l result, only a handful of members knew what was going on. CONTENT: Keeping in mind that any publication has to be visually interesting, the Newsletter must inform the members who receive it of the business items of the Association which have transpired or which are going to transpire. Since the initial Newsletter, the only minutes to be published and mailed to the general membership have been the Board of Directors minutes. This leaves approximately 20 committees which somehow must communicate to the members. First of all, then, the content of the Newsletter IlIUst have, ill synopsis or critique form, items of interest or illfonllation regarding the business of all of the committees. Along with this, the highlights of the business and decisions of the Board of Directors must be included. The change in the method of electing Directors is a primary example of an important change \olhich \olould make an interesting article. Changes in Certification Policy or procedures should also be mentioned. These items could take the form of small articles no longer than perhaps one or two paragraphs. Only recently, a member wrote our Certification Chainnan and expressed the opinion that the certification format and procedure had not changed in 15 years. Obviously, if we only send this individual a revised Certification Policy each year and he doesn't read it or doesn't understand it when he does, he will not appreciate the changes in certification over the years. In connection with this, a Registered individual anticipating an exam would, I'nl sure, be very interested in an article explaining the exam procedure and what to expect. Officers of the Association, such as the Secretary, have numerous announcements and communications which must be included, for example, delinquent dues lists, when dues have to be paid, and when the Spring Clinic is. The President should include editorials on a number of topics, and the Treasurer should explain what kind of financial shape the Association is in. APPROACH: 2 Secondly, the Newsletter should contain items of general interest, but not necessarily connected with the Association's business, such as new lifts, ski runs in an area, a certain ski school program, or the like. However, this type of material should not dominate the Newsletter. Thirdly, items such as lists of candidates who passed exams, help wanted, lost members, etc. are useful and should be an integral part of the Newsletter. feature articles on members who have distinguished themselves or informative articles on Officers of the Association would be of interest to our members. Also brief technical articles would be beneficial. Genet·al area or national news relating to ski teaching should be included. The North American Ski Instructors Congress is an example of an event which should receive considerable coverage. Our Fall Seminar would be another. If we fail to inform the members who don't attend the Seminar of what transpired, how can we expect them to be motivated enough to come and participate? These articles must contain "what happened" not merely a brief statement that a particular event happened and that it was considered a success by all who attended. First, one individual can't write, edit, gather information, and publish the Newsletter. The President should direct the overall format of the Newsletter with t.he Chairlllan of the Committee assembling the various articles and pictures, laying out the format, and arranging for publicat.ion. The various Committee Chair-men will function as the "reporters" and correspondents. If they can't write effectively, assignments to other members to interview and write will be given. The Newsletter Conunittee will consist of the Chairman and three or four other individuals who together will determine the date for publication and the content of that particular issue. At least two Newsletter photographers will be selected--one in Idaho and one in Salt Lake. Four issues a year or more will be published--Dccember, February, April, and mid-surruner--to coincide with events such as the Fall Seminar, Examiners Clinic, Spring Clinic, and general maili.ng to the membership. CONCLUSION: The Newsletter must communicate the Association's business to its members. Any additional information is incidental to the primary purpose of informing our members of what is going on. The President of the Association should direct the overall format and provide the Newsletter Editor with the people to help him put the paper together. The Comnlittee should determine the best way to "communicate" so the Ne'''sletter is Itinteresting" as well as "informative". The expense of the Newsletter cannot be justified unless a member reads it, is in formed as to what is going on, and enjoys it. GLEN R. KUNAU LEX H.
