Show INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING April 10, 1970 The meeting was called to order at 7:10 P,M. by President Max Lundberg. Present were; Al Ellis Glenn Evans Georg Hartlmaier Dave Larsen Max Lundberg Clark Parkinson Andy Shearer Lou Lorenz Ed Pond Dave Parkinson Absent were: Bob Bybee Allen Miller President Lundberg stated that there were two main purposes for the meeting. Bill Haskins Phil Jones Keith Lange Number one was the question on the ratification of the P.S.I.A. by-laws which were adopted at the Board's November 16 meeting. The P.S.I.A. by-laws that we ratified were not correct. Max read a letter from Jimmy Johnston that said we should reinstate our previous by-laws and start allover again by preparing the amended by-laws with a recommendation to ISIA members that they be adopted and to call for a vote of the members. Ed Pond prepared a resolution concerning this subject which was read to the BOD. (Reso-lution is attached.) Discussion was held in regard to resolution and problem. Motion: That we accept this resolution by Ed Pond (Shearer-Pond). Motion carried. The second purpose of the Board meeting was to issue and approve and take care of the expenses that B're associated with the NASIC convention participation by ISlA and the problems that were incurred in the selection of a team to be sent to both NASle and as an Interski Demonstration Team. Max noted that it was not nor had ever been the purpose of any individual to further himself in this association in any way. Selected to participate in the 9th Interski Demonstration Team were: Lundberg, Locke, Ellis, Parker and Jenkins. Selected to participate in NASle's program were: Lundberg, Locke, Autry, Bounous, Jones Sohrweide, Parker - with Andy Shearer as Program Director and Lou Lorenz as back-up to the Director. It was felt that the people who participated in NASIC should be capable demonstrators and also be able to perform in front of high-powered individuals. NASIC's agenda shows a one and one-half hour program which ISlA must put on. Clark Parkinson wondered why the Board meeting was called with regard to this controversy. Ed Pond read the minutes of the Executive Committee meeting of March 13th and gave the Board his feelings of the concept that was talked about qt that meeting: He felt that the Executive Committee met and was not as well informed as it should have been at that time regarding NASle. He felt some suggestions were made that leaked out to the membership but that we should operate under the by-laws and make things right. B.O.D. Meeting - April 10, 1970 It was noted that the Interski Team were chosen as demonstrators solely on their ability to demonstrate. The NASIC team (which has nothing to do with PSIA) were chosen to participate in a technical program partly through demonstration team judges and partly through a selection committee. The 9th Interski team was selected legally. Further discussion was held regarding the method and procedure of selections. Keith Lange felt that the ISlA should not be obligated to the PSIA for a Demonstration Team. Max explained that it was done in the manner it was done because it was simple, expedient and the cheapest way because there was little time. He noted that at the Executive Committee Meeting we did not really have the particulars regarding the NASIC Convention. Motion: That we send 8 members of ISlA to the NASIC convention and that their expenses be paid by ISlA not to exceed a total of $800.00 (Pond-Evans). Discussion was held regarding the cost. Motion called for. Motion carried. Phil Jones wondered why this problem of the selection, etc. was not brought up on Sunday. Al Ellis said he did not understand the whole picture until later. Motion: That the 8 members we send to NASIC consist of Andy Shearer and 7 other members of ISlA who tried out and on the basis of such tryouts were selected for the ISlA demonstration team on April 5, 1970 (Pond-Evans). Motion withdrawn. Max suggested that we reach an agreement and then choose capable people to represent us at NASIC. Some members wanted another tryout but it was felt that there was not enough time to prepare for them. Max said that Andy was the chairman of the Technical Committee but that the whole committee had been involved. Lou Lorenz felt we should hear from Andy regarding his feelings on ths subject. Andy felt that he needed 7 people who wanted to go and could give ISlA good coverage. Not only to go and ~erform and do a good job but to bring back information of value to the Association. Andy felt that in the event someone was not able to go (who tried out) he would be allowed the prerogative to appoint someone to take his place. Motion: That we select the NASIC team solely from among those who tried out on April 5, 1970 for the ISlA Demonstration Team (Pond-D. Parkinson). Motion defeated. Motion: That ISlA send expense-paid to NASIC Andy Shearer and 7 other individuals who competed in the try-outs at Park City on April 5; if any of those 7 people cannot attend Andy Shearer has the power to appoint his or their replacement (Lorenz-Evans). Motion carried (2 dissenting votes) Further discussion was held regarding the methods of selection for any teams in the future. Motion: That we pay the members of the Selection Committee $15.00 each (Larsen-Evans) Motion carried (6 for, 4 against) Bob Autry has incurred some expense in regard to this NASIC convention which he should be reimbursed for. He wanted to know if there should be a fee charged for the coaches who attend the Spring Convention. Discuss'ms held: $10.00 fee was left as is. Motion: That we pay our far-traveling board members as follows: George Hartlmaier $50 and Glen Evans and Al Ellis $25. each as expenses for the Board of Directors Meeting (Lange-Pond). Motion carried. Motion: That we adjourn the meeting (Pond-Larsen). Motion carried Meeting was adjourned at 9:10 P.M.

INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION Board of Directors Meeting May 3, 1970 Alta, Utah The meeting was called to order at 3:55 P.M. by President Max Lundberg. Present were: Max Lundberg Andy Shearer Bob Bybee Al Ellis Phil Jones Lou Lorenz Keith Lange Glenn Evans Absent were: Allan Miller Georg Hartlmaier President Lundberg read the proposed agenda items to the BOD. OLD BUSINESS: Ed Pond Clark Parkinson Bill Haskins Dave Parkinson Dave Larsen The question of_fepi Steigler's certification status. Phil Jones read the BOD letters from Pepi and showed them his certificate. Lou Lorenz stated that usually certificates are verified through PSIA and Paul Valar. It was noted that precedent had been set for transfering foreign status into the United States divisions through transfers. Clinic Committee: Max asked Glenn Evans to remain as chairman of the Clinic Committee noting that we can benefit the Association and especially the Idaho people by holding area clinics. John Herbert's honorary status was discussed. The Secretary was asked to take care of this question. Awards Committee: Were plaques purchased? The Chairman of the committee felt that the Fall Seminar would be a better time to award these plaques than the Spring Clinic. Demonstration Team selection procedure was discussed. Bill Haskins submitted a report to the BOD for discussion (See Appendix A as corrected). Al Ellis suggested that instead of having a 5-man team every two years, we have a 9-man team for three years. Andy Shearer felt that 12 men would be better than 9 for fill-in requirements. Max felt that we should use this report and make it a workable plan and give the outline to the committee chairman. Keith Lange felt the team should have a manager and that the clinic chairman be that manager. It was suggested that the team could be used in conjunction with area clinics. Motion: That the resolution be submitted with the changes in Paragraphs #1 and #2 and be submitted to the Demonstration Team Chairman (Shearer-Evans). Motion carried. Motion: That we send out a letter to the Ski School Directors Chairman letting him know that the Demonstration Team will exist (Shearer-Jones). Motion carried. The Ski School Directors Committee met on Friday and elected Junior Bounous as their new chairman up-coming. The Northern Rocky Mountain Division would like to have some of our people participate in their clinic-convention. Andy Shearer said he would write them for some information on the convention. Bob Autry took a few minutes to thank the BOD and especially the Alta people for all their help on the Spring Convention. It was noted that we were invited to participate in the Far West spring clinic also. Phil talked to Bill Strickland at NASIC regarding the situation but there was never anything done about it formally. Further discussion was held. BOD Meeting 5/3/70 Page 2 Motion: That the President send a letter apologizing and ask that they send us a date on this exam next year so we can participate (Jones-Evans). Motion carried. NEW BUS INESS: Max read the BOD a letter from Willy Schaeffler regarding the PSIA and their financial situation. He asked Lou Lorenz to elaborate on the situation. Lou stated that the Budget Committee of PSIA was overly optimistic on income and low on expenses. They have not picked up many new members and many of their present members are delinquent. He noted that two divisions have billed their members for dues and not forwarded this money to PSIA. Some of the members in these divisions paid their PSIA dues but they are the dues for last year not the upcoming year. PSIA is currently operating on money loaned them from Far West and Pacific Northwest ($1,000 from each). Max stated that he was approached at NASIC regarding a loan; he told them he would present the request to the BOD and it would have to be the BOD's consideration. He suggested that any loan made not be in excess of $500. Ed Pond felt that he could not vote for a loan when he did not know anything about the financial status of PSIA. Phil felt that PSIA has so many internal problems that our money may not be very secure. These internal problems were discussed. The by-laws that govern PSIA have changed. Pacific Northwest has ratified the PSIA by-laws; Representatives from Rocky Mountain had stated that their money will be turned in to PSIA. Max filled the BOD in on the proceedings that took place at the PSIA meeting at NASlC with the Division Presidents. Bob Bybee asked Lou how PSIA got so far in the red. Further discussion was held regarding the status and whether or not we should loan them any money and what support we can give. Motion: Due to the fact that we have no definite knowledge of PSIA's financial condition, no loan of ISlA monies be made to PSIA at this time (Pond-C.Parkinson). Motion carried. Bob Bybee felt that our obligation is to ISlA and not PSIA and that we should worry about the proper obligation. The subject of ISlA desires regarding PSIA by-laws was discussed. Lou Lorenz felt we should support a national organization but at this time it was not worthwhile to obligate our money in their present status. He said he would support them personally but not pledge our organization's money to them. Max offered to write Willy Schaeffler a letter explaining why we were not going to-loan the money plus incorporate the following resolution by Lou Lorenz into the letter. RESOLUTION: Be it resolved that the BOD of ISlA are interested in supporting PSIA only as a national organization. When PSIA can present a plan whereby all instructor divisions in the United States will participate in PSIA as divisions, ISlA will again consider ratification of PSIA By-Laws as a division. Until such time, the BOD of ISlA will urge current full certified members to be individual members of PSIA. Motion: That we approve the resolution and incorporate it into the minutes of this meeting (Bybee-Ellis). Motion carried. Fine limits for late dues and clinic fee payment was discussed. Max felt that a 100% fine was excessive and that it should not exceed 50%. Motion: That the $10 fine for the 70-71 dues be reduced to $5 (C.Parkinson-Pond). Motion carried. BOD Meeting 5/3/70 Page 3 Fall Seminar 1970. We have received a bid from Burley, Idaho to host the seminar. This is the only bid received. It was noted that it could be held a little earlier in the year. Motion: That we have the Fall Seminar in Burley, Idaho at a date satisfactorily determined by the Executive Committee (Lange-Bybee). Motion carried. Max asked the BOD to explore the idea of moving elections from the Fall meeting to the Spring meeting. He noted there would be time to put the various programs into operation throughout the summer. It would also make theaection more representative of the membership because of larger attendance. A petition was presented to the BOD for moving the meeting back to the Spring Convention instead of the fall. (See petition). Andy Shearer gave the BOD some ideas and suggestions on how it could work better. Motion: That the Officers and Directors of this Association be elected at the Annual Spring Clinic Association Meeting commencing with the spring clinic of 1971 (Pond~Evans). Motion carried. Further discussion was held. Lou felt that a study group should be used to resolve some of the questions and problems. Talk of geographical board members and members-at-large was held. The idea of a mail vote was discussed. Proxies would beaeminated by having a mail vote. Max appointed a Study Group to determine the means of electing officers of this corporation. They are to report their findings at the Fall Seminar. They are: Ed Pond Clark Parkinson Dave Parkinson Lou Lorenz, Chairman Clark Parkinson recommended to the BOD that Mike Wilson be selected as our representative to Intermountain Division. Lou Lorenz, our present representative would like to resign. Motion: That Mike Wilson be designated as ISlA representative to the Intermountain Division, USSA (C.Parkinson-Jones). Motion carried. Bill Haskins wanted someone to write to the ski companies and let them know we do not endorse any specific ski product. Motion: That the President of this BOD be directed to contact through the mails the manufacturers of ski equipment and inform them of our policy with regard to endorsements (Haskins-Lange). Motion carried. Max appointed Bill to get the information necessary to write the letter. Andy Shearer presented bills for the printing of the NASIC and technical reports to the BOD. Motion: That the bills be allowed and paid (Bybee-Ellis). Motion carried. Motion: That we give Alta Ski Lifts and Chick Morton some type of award of appreciation for the past years of cooperation as determined by the Awards Committee (LangeBybee). Motion carried. Bill Haskins presented bills to the BOD for the clinic. Motion: That the bills be allowed (Bybee-Jones). Motion carried. Motion: That we pick up Bill Haskins expenses at NASIC (Shearer-Lorenz). Motion carried. Motion: That we allow $55 expense for Robin Locke at NASIC (Bybee-Jones). Motion carried. BOD Meeting 5/3/70 Page 4 Motion: That we reinstate Ken Hansen (D.Parkinson-C.Parkinson). Motion carried. Secretary Parkinson noted Mel Fletcher's request to the BOD to withdraw from the Association because of lack of teaching. He was instructed to write Mel a letter indicating that his wishes had been taken care of. He reported noteworthy business for the year so far regarding certification: 74 candidates examined 57% passing 35 passed for associate 7 passed for certified 10 retained associate He noted that we had 156 registered members, 239 associates, 173 certified and 74 retired with 4 honorary members:. Motion: That the expenses for the clinic be paid for the BOD and the Executive Secretary and that those BOD members not lodging in Alta be reimbursed for food not to exceed $8 for each of the three dAys (C.Parkinson-Haskins). Motion carried. Committee Chairman assignments were read as follows: Certification Committee Publicity Committee By-Laws Committee Ski School Directors Committee Racing & Coaching Committee Ethics Committee Budget and Finance Committee Historical Committee Newsletter Committee Credentials Committee Technical Coordinating Committee Demonstration Team Committee Clinic Committee Awards Committee Phil Jones Bill Haskins Ed Pond Georg Hartlmaier Allan Miller Keith Lange Dave Larsen Al Ellis Lex Kunau Dave Parkinson Andy Shearer Phil Jones Glenn Evans Dave Parkinson, Al Ellis Max noted that an Executive Committee meeting to plan the Fall Seminar would probably be held in July or early August. It was suggested that a letter be written to Bob Autry and Marv Casey for their work on the Spring Convention. Thanks go to Bill Haskins and Keith Lange for their help also. Clark Parkinson commended Dave for his good job on registration. Motion: That we adjourn (Pond-Bybee). Motion carried, Meeting adjourned at 7:50 P.M, Appendix A - Proposed Demonstration Team Selection (as corrected) Page 5 As displayed by the difficulties encountered in the selection of an ISlA demonstration team to represent ISlA at the North American Ski Instructors Congress (NASIC) held in Vail, Colorado April 13-19, 1970, it is apparent that a method of selecting and maintaining an active ISlA Demo Team be initiated and followed through by this Board. I would therefore, like to submit to the Board the following system which was arrived at after consulting with the President and many other interested parties. I think this is a valid system and feel that it should, in some form, be instituted by this Board at this time. Purpose: To provide a broader basis for communication regarding certification and accepted certification policies between the certification committee and the membership with local onthe- snow clinics. To maintain an up-to-date and technically proficient demonstration team to represent ISlA on the national level. The reason for this being to tie in more closely technically with other divisions. Selection of initial ten man Team and Tenure: 1. In the fall of 1970, a 9 member team will be chosen. The highest scoring three members will hold 3 year terms. The lowest scoring five will hold a term until Spring Clinic of 1971. 2. Thereafter, at each spring clinic starting in 1971, a compliment of 3 team members will be chosen to replace the members whose term has expired. Retiring members will be eligible to compete for reinstatement. 3. Records shall be kept by the committee chairman and in the event a team member resigns, the chairman will select the next person on the competitive list to replace him for the remainder of his term. Method of Selection: 1. Submittal of candidates by ski school directors. 2. To be selected co~petitively from eligible candidates by the following committee: a. Technical Coordinating chairman and Certification chairman. b. Board of six selectors chosen by the above and subject to the approval of the president. Eligibility: 1. Must be a fully certified member in good standing of ISlA. 2. Must be technically knowledgeable and able to perform all phases of demonstrations both in ski school form and advanced stages of skiing. a. Should be capable of conducting seminars and on-the-hill clinics. b. Should have knowledge of other techniques and teaching approaches and be able to correlate them technically with our own methods. c. Should exhibit exceptional free skiing ability under all conditions (off-trail, ice, steep and mogulled terrain, etc.) Respectfully submitted for your consideration and action. Wm. R. Haskins WITH THE "SPRING CLINIC" There are several reasons behind this petition; the first of which is that the present fall meeting elects officers at the first of the ski season, placing them in a position of great responsibility prior to their being able to get together and get organized. The prior organization of this group of officials would enable them to "get the feeling" of their office and enable new officials on the Board of Directors to get acquainted with the other members and a chance to be made aware of present and potential problems with which they must deal. A second reason for this petition is to incorporate two meetings into one, allowing for greater participation on the part of members of ISlA. This incorporation of the two meetings would eliminate much proxy voting; it would permit the voicing of ideas at a time when most members would be present to hear them. And last but not least, the cost and additional time involved by having two meetings is a disadvantage to many members of ISlA who do not now live in the immediate vicinity of these meetings. It is hereby proposed to incorporate the election of new officers to the Board of ISlA with the mandatory spring clinic in the better interests of all ISlA members.

He welcomed the new members to the Boa rd OLD BUSINESS: Selection and training of ISlA Demonstration Team: Bill Haskins felt that the program should be implemented soon. Discussion was held. Bill Haskins (present Publicity Committee Chairman) discussed the upcoming Winter Sports Show and felt that we should present the information to the skiing public regarding servicing of skis, used equipment, binding care, etc. He felt that perhaps a panel should be available at the booth with donated time. $200 was appropriated and the booth space rent is $120, Last year's expenses were $280. Bill offered his services at the show in any way he was needed. It was felt that this should be carried into the new business ca tegory.

BOD Meeting - September 20, 1970 Page 2 Motion: That an additional $50 be allocated for the Salt Lake Winter Sports Fair Show. (D. Parkinson-Colven). Motion carried. Further discussion was held regarding the show. It was felt that some tips on ski care would be much more appropriate than a movie. Whoever is in charge should also write to the ski schools and ask them for any literature they would like distributed. ISA Representative: Mike Wilson \\lanted to know what his responsibilities as our representative to ISA were and would like some direction in that function. Does the Association renumerate Mike for his expenses for these functions? He should be assigned to attend conventions and prepare and present a report at these functions concerning ISlA. Expenses have been paid in the past it was noted. All action at these meetings should be presented to the ISlA BOD meetings.

Problem of mailing was brought up. Many people were not receiving their mailings. Recommendation: To the Secretary that a special effort he made to investigate the mail problem and see if we cannot rt'Rch that 10 percent that were mixxed in the last mailing.

Motion: That all Board members sign a waiver of notice so we will not need to have a meeting with adequate notice (Pond-Lorenz). Motion carried. It "as proposed that ISlA consider producing a movie on skiing and ski teaching that could be used on a promotional basis for the ski teaching industry in our area. Discussion was held as to what kind and type of film should be produced. It should not be an area oriented thing but an instruction oriented film. Max suggested that perhaps Dave Chaplin could do a good job on this. Discussion was held. It was suggested that perhaps the demonstration team could be used. The ski school directors talked of the same thing. Perhaps the BOD should make a study and the ski school directors should make a study and see that there is no duplication. Motion: That we appoint Dave Chaplin to head a committee to study the production of a promotional ski film by EIA. (Lundberg-Lorenz). Motion carried. Lex Kunau wanted a clarification of what type of promotion was had in mind. Could a teaching aid be incorporated into the film. New President Clark Parkinson took over the meeting at this point. A question was raised to the Budget Committee regarding the correctness of the budget proposed. Clark felt that we should defer these matters until the BOD meeting at the Exam= iners Clinic so that we can have time to become more organized. Lou requested that each member of the Board have a copy of the proposed budget at least ~e_~~ek prior to the meeting. Clark asked the members of the Board to think in terms of what they could do for the Association in terms of heading up a committee. Our representation to PSIA was brought to the floor and discussed. It was also felt that ISlA should have some sort of literature to take to some of the ski shows. Ed Pond suggested that we send a letter of appreciation to the old Board members. Clark said that he intended to write each one and ask for his support; he was also going to write the ski school directors. Letters to the people in Burley in connection with the resolutions committee's resol'ution would also be taken care of. BOD Meeting - September 20, 1970 Page 4 Clark stated that he would like to sit down with Dave Larsen and discuss the budget; felt that we have to project some expenses. I Jack Colven recommended to the Board that we send K. Smith a letter repremanding him for his conduct and comments made during lilt' mpeti ngs. Max felt that we should appoint a Sergeant al Arms and as it becomes necessary anyone disturbing the meetings could be removed. It was felt that perhaps the Ethics Committee Chairman should be appointed to research more appropriate ways to handle these situations. Further discussion was held. Clark expressed to the BOD that his main idea in taking over the PrcBidency was to unify the organization. Motion: That we take care of the expenses of our old Board Members at this meeting which will include all of their reasonable expenses and that we adjourn the meeting (Lundberg-Pond). Motion carried. The meeting ,,,as adjourned at 4: 00 P.M. -, 1 BOD Meeting - September 20, 1970 Elections Study Group Lou Lorenz, Cha i rman r.1.lX Lundhero CLTk Pill'kf'nson [d Pond TO: ~pl1lhers of ISlA SUBJECT: Proposed chanqf' ill llIf'thod of electing directors of ISlA REVIEW Appendix A During the early years of ISlA, general meetings were small and informal. Business and election of directors was quickly accomolished. 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 orovide 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 50rinq Clinic that the members would rather participate directly in elections than by proxy. Therefore, this study group was aopointed to explore methods to allow the entire membership to elect directors. PAGE n~o -C-O--N- SIDERATION: ~.---~- - -.- The study ql'OU[l consiclerecl 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 rnai 1 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 qroup felt that #1 would be a step backward and only recreate most of the problems exoerienced in the past further entensified by a larger membership. Also, a pro~y 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 could be worked out, and resulted in the fol1owinq proposal: / .rROPOSAl: That a nomination and election committee be aopointed to administer the following system. -I I tt'lbt !HRtE Tl'Je committe" si-]all contact memhers through ski schools and other methods and sF:'lect " "linirnUIi1 nwnher of candidates for the Roard.

He welcomed the new members to the Board OLD BUSINESS: Selection and training of ISlA Demonstration Team: Bill Haskins felt that the program should be implemented soon. Discussion was held. Bill Haskins (present Publicity Committee Chairman) discussed the upcoming Winter Sports Show and felt that we should present the information to the skiing public regarding servicing of skis, used equipment, binding care, etc. He felt that perhaps a panel should be available at the booth with donated time. $200 was appropriated and the booth space rent is $120, Last year's expenses were $280. Bill offered his services at the show in any way he was needed. It was felt that this should be carried into the new business category. Max asked Bill if the ski manufacturers letter was mailed and taken care of that was an item from the last BOD meeting. He noted that it had been taken care of. The certification status of Pepi Steigler and the honorary status of John Herbert was brought to the floor. Motion: That John Herbert be accorded the status of honorary member for his lifetime if he currently is not now at that status. (C. Parkinson-Pond). Motion carried. Phil Jones reported that he had sent a copy of those members wishing to be transferred from foreign divisions into our association to PSIA and had not heard back from them. He thought perhaps we should call Paul Valar or Willy Schaeffler and see if there was any way this could be done on our own. Max suggested that we appoint iPhil to contact Paul Valar and discuss this with him. Motion: That the Credentials Committee research a method by which we can verify credentials and take these foreign certified people into our Association. (LorenzPond). Motion carried. Awards to Chick Morton and Renon Klossner w~re brought before the BOD. It was felt that a plaque should be appropriate. It was also noted that Fredl Lange should be located so his plaque could be sent to him. Demonstration Team Committee: It was felt that this should be taken care of early in the year so that it is ready for the season. BOD Meeting - September 20, 1970 Page 2 Motion; That an additional $50 be allocated for the Salt Lake Winter Sports Fair Show. (D. Parkinson-Colven). Motion carried. Further discussion was held regarding the show. It was felt that some tips on ski care would be much more appropriate than a movie. Whoever is in charge should also write to the ski schools and ask them for any literature they would like distributed. ISA Representative: Mike Wilson wanted to know what his responsibilities as our representative to rSA were and would like some direction in that function. Does the Association renumerate Mike for his expenses for tllese functions? He should be assigned to attend conventions and prepare and pn'sl'nt :1 r('port at these functions concerning ISlA. Expenses have been paid in the past it WilH tloted. All action at these meetings should be presented to the ISlA BOD meetings.

He said that when you become President you recognize how much you have to compromise. Ski areas are no longer of prime consideration but ISlA becomes the main consideration. Problem of mailing was brought up. Many people were not receiving their mailings. Recommendation: To the Secretary that a special effort be made to investigate the mail problem and see if we cannot reach that 10 percent that were mixxed in the last mailing.

Motion: That all Board members sign a waiver of notice so we will not need to have a meeting with adequate notice (Pond-Lorenz). Motion carried. It was proposed that ISlA consider producing a movie on skiing and ski teaching that could be used on a promotional basis for the ski teaching industry in our area. Discussion was held as to what kind and type of film should be produced. It should not be an area oriented thing but an instruction oriented film. Max suggested that perhaps Dave Chaplin could do a good job on this. Discussion was held. It was suggested that perhaps the demonstration team could be used. The ski school directors talked of the same thing. Perhaps the BOD should make a study and the ski school directors should make a study and see that there is no duplication. Motion: That we appoint Dave Chaplin to head a committee to study the production of a promotional ski film by EIA. (Lundberg-Lorenz). Motion carried. Lex Kunau wanted a clarification of what type of promotion was had in mind. Could a teaching aid be incorporated into the film. New President Clark Parkinson took over the meeting at this point. A question was raised to the Budget Committee regarding the correctness of the budget proposed. Clark felt that we should defer these matters until the BOD meeting at the Exam= iners Clinic so that we can have time to become more organized. Lou requested that each member of the Board have a copy of the proposed budget at least one week prior to the meeting. Clark asked the members of the Board to think in terms of what they could do for the Association in terms of heading up a committee. Our representation to PSIA was brought to the floor and discussed. It was also felt that ISlA should have some sort of literature to take to some of the ski shows. Ed Pond suggested that we send a letter of appreciation to the old Board members. Clark said that he intended to write each one and ask for his support; he was also going to write the ski school directors. Letters to the people in Burley in connection with the resolutions committee's resolution would also be taken care of. BOD Meeting - September 20, 1970 Page 4 Clark stated that he would like to sit down with Dave Larsen and discuss the budget; felt that we have to project some expenses. Jack Colven recommended to the Board that we send K. Smith a letter repremanding him for his conduct and comments made during the meetings. Max felt that we should appoint a Sergeant at Arms and as it becomes necessary anyone disturbing the meetings could be removed. It was felt that perhaps the Ethics Committee Chairman should be appointed to research more appropriate ways to handle these situations. Further discussion was held. Clark expressed to the BOD that his main idea in taking over the Presidency was to unify the organization. Motion: That we take care of the expenses of our old Board Members at this meeting which will include all of their reasonable expenses and that we adjourn the meeting (Lundberg-Pond). Motion carried.

Business and election of directors was quickly accomolished. 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 orovide 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 oroxy. Therefore, this study group was aopointed to explore methods to allow the entire membership to elect directors. ; -I I !

INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION Certification Committee Meeting November 18, 1970 Meeting was called to order at 8:00 P.M. Present were: Woody Anderson Clark Parkinson Andy Shearer Max Lundberg Junior Bounous Phil Jones Lou Lorenz Dave Parkinson Ed Pond Phil reviewed last week's meeting for the benefit of those not attending last time. It was pointed out that last week's meeting had not resolved the question of what the standard would be for examinations this year. The meeting was opened for suggestions and after discussion it was determined that there were four alternatives: 1. Use the new PSIA manual and adhere rigorously to it. 2. Do not use the PSIA manual at all. 3. Use the PSIA manual but print our own definitions. 4. Use the PSIA manual as a guide only. The 4th alternative seemed to be the orientation point of the discussion. Opinions were expressed that the Examiners in their judgment and discretion should decide if a candidate should pass without any objective standard. The question of what demonstrations should be required was discussed next. It was the feeling that while teaching should be emphasized and demos de-emphasized, that basic maneuvers should be a part of the candidates preparation for the exam. It was determined that on Saturday, the 5th of December, 1970, the tryouts for the Demonstration Team would be held at 8:00 A.M. and that Andy would prepare a written exam for the candidates. Max Lundberg presented a list of those he felt should select the team and left it open for further additions. A Board Meeting was also scheduled for Saturday, December 5 at 4:00 P.M. and an attitude adjustment period from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M. On Sunday, the 6th, the Ski School Directors will meet at 8:00 in the morning; the clinic will begin at 9:00 and will be open to past Examiners, backups, and Ski School Directors. No charge will be made for attendance. The morning will be spent indoors on procedure, policy, etc. and move out on the hill at 2:00 P.M. The meeting was adjourned.

He reviewed with the President those in attendance and stated he felt everyone at the meeting was entitled to be at the meeting, and with few exceptions all were entitled to vote. The President stated that in accordance with the By-Laws the Eastern and Intermountain Divisions would not be entitled to vote but in order to establish a level of confidence and good understanding, for this meeting the By-Law rule should be waived and these Divisions be given a vote just as though they had paid their dues and ratified the By-Laws. MSC (Lenihanfvluth) that the Eastern and Intermountain Divisions be accepted as presented so as to establish an amiable working relationship. Chairman of Meeting President Schaeffler then advised those present that he would have to leave the meeting for a short time to attend to pressing business for the U. S. Ski Team. He expressed his gratitude and appreciation to those that made the effort to attend and in particular to Hank Emery and those that took some of the work load off his shoulders and ullselfishly worked on behalf of the I'SlA. I'll'. Schaeffler then asked Herhert Schnei der, 2nd Vice Pre sident, to tal,e over the chair in his absence ilnd in the absence of the 1st Vice President, L1iJTlJl1Y Johnston. PSIA Minutes -2- December 2, 1970 rIinutes of the Last Meeting MSC (Lenihan-Emery) that the following correction be made on page 1 of the minutes, next to the last line, as follows: Insert the word TTApprenticeTT in place of the word T'Associate". l'lSC (Lenihan-Emery) that the minutes of the last meeting reflect that the Board of Directors as a whole decided that as far as the equipment for the Interski team is concerned that preference in the bidding be extended to manufacturers of American equipment over manufacturers of foreign equipment. l"lSC (Lenihan-Emery) that the minutes be approved as distributed with the above correction and addition. Financial Hank Emery presented the following reports that were distributed and reviewed with those present. The Financial Report prepared by Louis D. Tannenbaum for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1970, a Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the period covering October 1 to November 30, 1970 and a Statement of Income and Expenses for the same period. Nr. emery then presented to the Board (copies were also distributed) a breakdown of individual memberships received from Divisions as of November 30, 1970. Herbert Schneider pointed out that the report prepared by Louis D. Tannenbaum under the item "Loan - County Carroll, No. Conway BankTT should be $2,000.00 instead of $1,500.00. There was some discussion on several of the items listed on the report but the Directors felt that it must be taken at face value. Max Lundberg asked about the memberships received from individuals, in parbcular the Intermountain Division. Nr. Emery explained that we had not .received an accounting of funds received for the period of July 1, 1970 to October 1, 1970. The bank account was closed in Salt Lake City and the net amount received was $336.70. Discussion then ensued on the monies paid to the PSIA during the period of July 1, 1970 to October 1, 1970. MSC (Emery-Putnam) that Jimmy Johnston contact Bill Lash for an accounting of funds received and paid out during the period of July 1, 1970 to October 1, 1970. MSC (Lenihan-Kun) that the financial reports presented by Hank Emery be accepted. Audit MSC (Muth-Emery) that Arthur Anderson & Company, a public accounting firm, be retained for the purpose of performing an unaudited review for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1970 and that their services be utilized in observing the counting of the physical inventory and assist in the establishment of adequate books, records and internal financial statements. Office Status Hank Emery then reported on the status of the office. He reminded the Board that Pat Swenson had promised to only work for a few months when she was hired to help organize an office in Denver. Hank Emery introduced Dennis Sanford and briefly informed the Board of his educational, professional and skiing bad.:ground. I'll'. Emery explained that Dcnni s was hired to work with :-lrs. Swenson so that someonc would bc informcd oftltc office procedures as she phases out of the office. 111e Directors cormnended I 'at and Dennis for their efforts in the office. PSIA Minutes -3- December 2, 1970 Division Reports Chairman Schneider asked for a report from the Divisions. ,Jon Putnam reported that the Eastern Division has collected dues from their individual members and have a record of such. lIe reported that some members have had their dues released from escrow upon the recorrmlendation of a Committee formed to study the By-Laws. He also stated that they expect to have approximately 1,000 members this year. rvIax Lundberg, ISlA, reported that they had a new President, Clark T. Parkinson. At the present time, he stated that the Intermountain was probably further away from the PSIA than any other Division. For example, the ISlA has not collected dues for PSIA. Some individual members have sent their own dues in to the PSIA as had been done in the past. I"Jr. Lundbcrg then addressed several questions to the Board from their President Parkinson. In response to the questions the Directors provided the following answers. The Directors felt that since Intermountain had not ratified the By-Laws, that only Full Certified Instructors could join the rSIA and not Associates. MSC (LenihanEmery) that the President of Intermountain appoint someone to fill the vacancy created by the unexpired term of Bill Lash, to be effective until the next annual meeting. MSC (Lenihan-Muth) that Hank Emery attend the ISlA meeting as a representative of PSIA as requested by the ISlA. Bill Lenihan reported that the Pacific Northwest owes additional dues to the PSIA and promised that the dues would be sent as soon as their Treasurer had the opportunity to write a check. He said everything appears to be in good order and that enthusiasim is building for the llational organization. Jim Weiss reported that Northern Rocky Mountain would be sending in additional dues. Since their fiscal year is July I to June 30 and their dues deadline is November 30, Northern Rocky is having difficulty in meeting the PSIA deadline of November 1. TI1e other item was that they have a new President Tom Hammerel. Alaska and Central did not have representatives at the meeting for a report. Jerry Muth stated that their report would be included in the report on NASIC which will come up later on the agenda. 9th Interski Rene Farwig was then asked to give a report on 9th Interski. The first item discussed was promotion of the Interski team. He stated he had sent pictures of the team to the Denver office. It was suggested that press releases along with the pictures be sent to the media as soon as possible. Rene Farwig stated that he had been in touch with the team during the past several months. Everyone is anxious for Interski. Rene stated he had also been in touch with Paul Valar, Bill Lenihan, equipment suppliers, etc. lie described the team uniform. The training will be held as previously schcduled. Rene stated that he also was working on accommodations. lie also outlined the financial needs of the team. ReneTs complete written report was distributed to those in attendance, a copy of which is attaclJed to the original of these minutes. PSIA Minutes -4- December 2, 1970 A representative from Lufthansa Airlines was introduced and he presented what could be offered to the Interski team in re:-;ard to a group affinity air fare. ~villy Schaeffler was able to re- join the meeting at this time. Herbert Schneider and Jon Putnam presented to Hank Emery a check in the amount of $5,428.00 as an initial payment to PSIA for membership dues of the Eastern members. 9th Interski (continued) Bill Lenihan read a letter he had written to the Suppliers of the 9th Interski Team. A copy of this letter is attached -to the original of these minutes. The equipment and uniforms to be worn by the Interski team were discussed. The matter of transporting the team and delegates was considered. Bill Lenihan stated that he was going to request each of the Divisions to come up with some financial aid for the team. Mr. Lenihan stated that he had corrunittments for $12,500 for the team expenses at this time but hopefully would be able to come up with $20,000. It was suggested that PSIA contact the Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance to see if something could be worked out on a joint charter arrangement. MSC (Lenihan-Putnam) that Hank Emery and Dennis Sanford be authorized to coordinate the travel arrangements for the team. Bill Lenihan stated that the funds to be paid by the equipment suppliers will be sent to the Denver office. Mr. Lenihan distributed copies of his report, covering the above matters, to the Board of Directors. The matter of Delegates to 9th Interski was then discussed. Willy Schaeffler stated that he would be in Switzerland during Interski and he would try to attend at least 3 days of the Congress. He also stated that he would not need expenses for attending. Richard Kun suggested, and it was agreed by the Directors, that inasmuch as it appears that there will not be sufficient funds to pay both team and delegate expenses, that the Divisions be primarily responsible for the teamTs expenses. And that if funds are left over after paying for the teamTs expenses, the Divisions or delegates expenses be reimbursed to the extent possible. MSC (I:mery-Muth) that the Divisions be allowed to designate a representative to Interski but that they will be financially responsible, and if there are funds left over, that the Divisions be reimbursed. MSC (Lenihan-Muth) that Clif TaylorTs expenses be included in the Interski team expense budget. Films It was suggested that a film library be established in the office. It was recorrunended that Coors and Buick be contacted for copies of the 8th Illterski film. ~lanuals TIle matter of the American Ski Technique Manuals was then discussed. The Board was advised that -there was approximately l, 000 copies of the 2nd edition on hand. The office has been trying to sell the 2nd edition at a reduced price of $4.00. It was suggested that schools, universities and any ski instruction program with apprentice instructors be contacted as the 2nd edition manual would be valuable to such programs. It was agreed that PSIA Minutes -5- December 2, 1970 the 2nd edition manuals should be sold at $4-.00 each on an individual basis but for large quanity orders the price should be reduced. Rene Farwig ordered 200 - 2nd edition manuals for his ski school. The matter of selling the 3rd edition of the manual was then reviewed. MSC (Lenihan-Emery) that the 3rd edition of the manual sales from the various regions be handled from the PSIA office rather than Salt Lake City. It was recommended that Bill Lenihan and Jimmy Johnston investigate any and all a6Teements between Bill Lash and Cowles Book Company in regard to Bill Lash selling manuals for PSIA. Also, it was further recommended that if Bill Lash does sell manuals for the PSIA a written agreement should be entered into between Bill Lash and PSIA. NASIC II Jim Riley then was asked for a report on the progress of NASIC. He stated that it is planned to hold NASIC II at Vall from AprIl 13-17, 1971. He reported that a program, which is entirely tentative, will place emphasis on Interski. They hope to have a mini-program from Interski and hopefully include Switzerland; Austria, France, Germany and I"taly. Bob Knowlton, General Chairman of NASIC II, has written letters to these foreign countries asking them if they would be willing to send representatives from their Interski team to come to Vail during NASIC to put a representative example of their demonstration at Interski. They also have set aside on the program, demonstrations by the United States and Canadian teams. Last year time was not available for demonstrations from Central, Eastern and Northern, however, this year they have allowed time on the program if the Divisions are interested. This would be up to the Division to present something special they would feel would be of interest on a national basis. ~1r. Riley then reviewed the schedule day by day with the Directors. A copy of this tentative schedule is on file in the PSIA office. He reminded those in attendance that Garcia has supplied to each of the Divisions copies of the NASIC film. If additional copies of the film are desired they are available at $125.00 per each print. Mr. Riley asked that the Board designate Jim Riley, Bob Knowlton and Dr. Sobranski as special representatives to Interski. He stated that they would pay their own expenses and wanted to be able to attend some of the lectures and demonstrations. It was recommended that Sony, Ampex, Panasonic, etc. be asked if video-tape equipment might be loaned to PSIA to use at Interski. Willy Schaeffler stated that the U. S. Ski Team will be available at NASIC if the organizers would like a racing technique demonstration. Jim Riley stated that there is a PSIA annual membership meeting tentatively scheduled on Sunday, April 18, 1971 at 10:00 a.m. He requested that if this date is not acceptable or if the Board prefers a different date please let him know. MSC (Emery-Lenihan) that the annual meeting be held on April 18, 1971 at 10:00 a.m. at Vail, Colorado. MSC (Lenihan-Emery) that Jim Riley, Bob Knowlton and Dr. Sobranski be considered as special guests, or delegates if openings are available, to 9th Interski and that the Organizing Committee be notified of these appointments) Licensing Corporation of /\meri ca Bill Lenihan reported that he had met \IIith ArIlo] d l.ewis of Lj censing Corporation of America and hc advised l1im that tJl('re j s another year to go on the Korvette contract. Tbe Mohawk agreement has Lcen voluntarily terminated by 1'10hawk. iYlohawk has paid PSIA $2,500 and it should be morally refunded or else the contract should be reviewed on a more equitable basis. Bill Lenihan recommended that PSIA and Mohawk should try to negotiate a fair and realistic contract that gives Mohawk a $2,500 credit for what they have already paid. A letter dated October 28, 1970 from Mohawk was reviewed. PSIA Minutes -G- December 2, 1970 Corrnnittees The next item to come before the Board was the matter of Committees and the appointment of Chairmen. It was recommended that each Director take the list of Committees and go throu;.~h and mark the ones they feel should be functioning and recommend individuals to serve on them. This list with recorrnnendations should be sent to the PSIA office and the President and Directors could finalize the Commi ttee struc-tures, chairmen, etc. International Passbooks Herbert Schneider explained that jll J:uropl! a ski instructor from a certain country can go to another country with a ~ruest and request the same lift privileges as a local instructor. It is not suppose to entitle an instructor going from one country to another to use it for his own pleasure. It is not to be used by an instructor going to Europe for vacation to have free lift privileges allover Europe. If an instructor has a paying customer going to an area to be taught skiing then they are accorded free lift privileges as a local instructor would receive. International Passbooks are to be used for identification of fully certified ski instructors of a national organization and under certain laws he can teach skiing in another country by having brought his own guest along. It does not entitle him to solicit business while he is visiting in a foreign country. But you can bring your own guest that hired you and you will be granted the same rights as a ski instructor of the host country. It was decided that International Passbooks should be issued only to fully certified instructors under the above outlined rules and regulations. It was also recommended that these rules be given to the instructors, that qualify for the Passbooks, as well as the membership so that they will be aware of the rules. There should not be a charge for this Passbook, it should be considered as a benefit of his membership in the PSIA. PSIA Insignias A lengthy discussion then ensued on the pros and cons of full certified and associate instructors being allml]ed to wear pins, patches and ordering decals, etc. It was recommended that the PSIA investigate re-designing the pins so as to be able to designate full and associate instructors. MS (PutnamMuth) that only fully certified instructors be sold pins, patches, decals and all paraphernalia with the PSIA logo on it. Motion was defeated. The office staff was assigned the responsibility of checking into having the PSIA logo re-designed so as to designate the different classes of instructors. MSC (Muth-Weiss) that the Board authorize the sale of patches, decals and all PSIA emblems, with the exception of the official large PSIA pin, to associates. Herbert Schneider and ,Jon Putnam voted against the motion. t-1ailing List It was explained that ill the past the PSI1\. had utilized DuMacTs mailing services in Salt Lake City which constituted of addressograph plates. But now that it is necessary to transfer our mailing lists to Denver, it has been found that we can computerize our list and it will cost a little more per member to have it created and maintained but it will cost less every time we use it. MSC (Putnam-Muth) that the office be authorized to go ahead and establish a computerized mailing list. PSIA l'linutes -7- December 2, 1970 PSIA Logo It was brought to the attention of the Directors an advertisement from a certain ski shop which was advertising that their shop was owned and staffed by Professional Ski Instructors and the 1'SI1\ logo was used in their advertisements. It was decided that this particular shop should be notified that this is not allowed. Future Planning The recommendations made by the Rocky Hountain Ski Instructors Association to the PSIA Board of Directors were reviewed by the Directors. Copies of the recommendations were distributed to those present. It was felt that many good ideas were contained in the report anel that they should receive consideration. It was also recommended that different insurance coverages and policies for ski instructors be investigated. It toJaS determined that the items listed on the agenda under future planning should be sent to the membership prior to the time of the annual meetj Il~-'," for study and consideration. Expenses Hank Emery stated that those that attended the Board of Directors j.1ce-:::ing held in September in Denver had to pay their own expense~ and that there was a request for reimbursement. 1\1so, that the T'SI1\ had received a statement of expenses from Bill and Toni Lash for corning over to Denver to help set up the office as well as a salary expense from TOlli. Hank Emery asked the Board for direction in paying for these expenses. Hembers of the Board and other officials stated that they had personally incurred expenses for meetings and other related PSIA business. 1'1SC (I:mery-Kun) that no director would receive reimbursement for expenses until such time that the PSIA is in better financial condition and then the expenses could be re-submitted for consideration. MSC (Schaeffler-Putnam) that the expenses submitted by Bill Lash not be paid until such time that he submits the financial accounting that has been requested repeatedly over the past several months. Rene Farwig and Bill Lenihan stated that they had incurred expenses for xerox copying, telephone, etc. for the Interski team. It was recommended that these expenses be paid out of the Interski fund and if these funds are not sufficient then other ways should be investigated to reimburse them for these general expenses. Clif Taylor stated he had incurred translation expenses for his Interski report. It was suggested that these expenses be subm_itted and paid from the Interski fund. PresidentTs Report 1'1r. Schaeffler stated that he felt that he was doing injustice to PSIA because of his inability to devote suffjcient time to the position of President. Because of his committments to the ll. S. Ski Team and the travel i.nvolved he \\'as not able to be available 1'01' t-he conslll tatj all alld ~c~ll i dance requi red of the office of the President. BecaLLse of til is, lie feJ t _i t Jle(~essary to resign as President. He also felt because of his linLi ted ova il ab.i.li ty at J nterski that the Board should appoint another Chief Delegate. Willy Schaeffler demanded that the resignation be accepted. Herbert Schne.ider stated on bellalf of the PSIA Minutes -8- December 2, 1970 Board of Directors that it was with regret that tlley must accept the resignation and thanked him for his time and his ability to reunite the organization. MSC (Lenihan-Emery) that, with great regrets, Mr. SchaefflerTs resignation as President be accepted. MSC (Schaeffler-Putnam) that Herbert Schneider be designated as Chief Delegate to Interski. MSC (Schneider-Lenihan) that LTirruny Johnston he appointed President to fill the unexpired term created by the resignation of Willy Schaeffler. Mr. Schaeffler stated he wou] d be willin~.~ to assist the PS1A in any way possible as his time permits. I The next Board of Directors meetin~J, will be held in conjunction with N..i\SIC II and the PSIA annual meeting at Vail during April 13-17, 1971. There being no further business to come before the meeting, it was duly adjourned. Submitted by: Edited by: l\.pproved by: Dennis Sanford Patricia J. Swenson ,Jimmy Johnston - .
