I. A. INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION September 29, 1970 TO: I.S.I.A. Executive Committee FROM: Clark T. Parkinson, President Dear Committee Hember: It is my intention to utilize the Executive Committee as advisers to the President in determining overall Association policy in addition to the duties that the Committee has performed in the past. I personally feel that the Committee should function as the "engine" of the Association and that we should together formulate the direction that the Association should go. Since all members of the Committee except one live in Salt Lake, we can get together frequently, and by so doing, eltminate many small items that, in the past, have had to be presented to the Board, and by careful consideration and preparation, we can present well thought out programs to the Board of Directors, thereby, eltminating long, drawn out, inconclusive Board Meetings. In addition, many projects should now be underway. Accordingly, I would like to schedule an Executive Committee Keeting on Thursday evening, October 15. I will contact you personally on the time and place later. The topics for discussion will be as follows: Committee Assignments, Revised Budget, Pepi Steigler, Demonstration Team, P.S.I.A •• and I.S.I.A. Hovie. Between now and then, if any pertinent items should develop, we will discuss them also. The meeting should be short. Sincerely, .tIadu Clark T.

It will be held at my house. Buffet dinner will be at 7:00 P.M. The meeting will start at 8:00 P.M. sharp. CTP:ld Sincerely, Clark T. Parkinson President INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION Executive Committee Mee ting October 16, 1970 The meeting was called to order at 8:45 P.M. Present were: Clark Parkinson Dave Larsen Dave Parkinson Lou Lorenz Max Lundberg Ed Pond Phil Jones Guests: Dave Chaplin Mary Ellen Parkinson, Executive Secretary Clark noted that Dave Chaplin was invited beca use he had a contribution to make regarding the ISlA movie. Clark stated that he intended to use these Executive Committee meetings as a policy forming board. He wants everyone Lo state their opinion and let him know how they feel. ISA Report: (See attached) Clark and Mike Wilson attended this convention to see if there was any way to further r elationships between ISA and ISlA. Keith Lange's award plaque was brought up - il w"s noted that he would be presented with it at the BOD meeting in conjunction with the Examiners Clinic. Clark read a letter from PSIA regarding their new Executive Secretary and their new policy. He wrote to Pat Swenson ano indicated lhat Lou Lorenz would be our repre-ssentative to PSIA. He noted lhe article that was in the October issue of Ski magazine. He said that the Intermountain Division was quoted as not wanting Qur Associate members to become members of PSIA. Clark \vondcrcd if he should write the magazine or PSIA and straighten them out about our position as to the Associate instructors. PSIA had a meeting September 19-20 and ISlA did not have a representative at that meeting. Clark read a letter from Pat Swensen regarding our position with PSIA. Lou suggested drafting a letter to PSIA to outline that we were not in attendance because we were not aware that we were invited, that we have not ratified their by-laws because we have not seen them and let them know we were the first division to ratify a set of by-laws and that we are not F1gainst having associates as members. Clark said that he would take ca re of this over the Board of Directors name. Phil Jones fell we should also send a leller lo Doug Pf eiffer regarding our position. Lou felt it would not be a good idea to direct mail to any s ki magazines. Committee assignments were brought to the floor . Clark stated that it was his idea to reorganize ISlA into con~itlees under vice presidents. He will try the committees for one year set up as we have been doing in the past. Committee policies were gone over. Lou Lorenz stated that committees that require continuity should be coordinated. If the new committee can gain experie nce from the f ormer committee it will be helpful. Clark discussed the pohcies for lhe committl'cS <Inci said that they should be used as and ouLiine and not as law. Mot ion: That we accept committee outlines wiLh the ammendments Lou suggested as part of the po licy of the Associatinn (Pond- Lorenz). Motion carried. Lou suggested that it be the responsiblity o[ the Secretary that all committee reports are kept on file, Ed Pond s uggested that perhaps Fred Finlinson could become the new By-Laws Committee Chairman. As a member of the bar' h e 1' S very we 11 qua l 1" f'1 ed . Bob Autry was suggested i r Executive Committee Meeting Minutes-10/16/70 Page 2 as chairman of the Racing and Coaching Committee. Clinic Committee - Dave Parkinson felt that tl'l' small areas and Idaho areas needed only one or two men to put on these clinics beCalJSe of expenses and the number of people involved. Perhaps one member of the Demonstration Team could be used along with the committee chairman. Dave stated that this committee was origina lly formed to operate for the sma ll areas and help them . Phil felt that the Association should subsidize the expenses of the clinic committee and give the chai rman money to operate so we do not have to charge the people too much. Lou felt that the first thing the Clinic Committee should do would be to make a study of what these people want a nd how they want it presented . and also their financial expectations . He felt that perhaps some of the members of the committee should be from Idaho--we should go over it with the Idaho people and find out what they expect. Dave reminded Lou that he had sent out a letter to the ski school dire ctors and had them tell him when, how and why they wanted these clinics. Awards Committee - Clark read his brief outline in regard to the committee. He would like to have a Ski Instructor of the Year Award and also a Ski School Director of the Year. (Perhaps one who certifies or registers more candidates than any other school.) Di scussion was held regarding ISA represenLative a nd Lhe politics involved. Dave felt that someone who was not race oriented would be a good representative. Clark said he would call Mike and let him know a new representative had been appointed. Phil felt we shou ld not change it because one person felt a certain way. Lou felt a neutral person would be a better person to represent ISlA. The Pres ident of ISlA would be the ideal person to represent us. Election and Nomination Committee - The question was raised as to whether or not it should be a standing committee or left as a special committee. Newsletter Committee - The RMSIA newsletter was shm'lln to the members. Discussion was held as to the pros and cons and \'IIhat the memi)('rs expec t of the news lett er . It was suggested that perhaps Marilyn Shearer ';Quld he good [or the job. ISlA Movie - Dave Chaplin has done soo1(' research on making a movie for ISlA. We could make a movie for about $1,000. Dave felt he "as noL technically able to make the movie b"t with cooperation of various people could coordinate the effor t. A 25-30 minute film wou ld require five to fifteen full days on the hill. Dave presented to the committee a format regarding some ideas for the making of Lhe promotiona l movie. Do we want a promotional film or a certification oriented film? Lou felt that the association should not finance a film because of expenses. The Ski School Directors should do this or some other committee and raise their own financing. Discussion was held regarding the feasibility of doing it. We shou ld contact some of the other divisions and see what their ideas are on the subject. Clark is going to Aspen a nd will research their movie. Nothing further will be done pending research. Budget Committee - Discussion was held regarding the proposed budget and exactly what was expected from the different committees . Lou felt it was hard to project expenses es-pecially in the certification area . HO\'II much of the registered fee is going to certi-fication and how much to administration? Max ;,"ggcsLcd making and study and suggesting to the Executive Committee or BOD the resulls (or their approval. The budget should merely be a guide line; some commiLtees must function on a stric t budget and others are variable. Demons tration Team - A proposal was accepted by the BOD. Max reviewed the proposal with the Committee. He would like to have a uniform and get the se lection done as soon as possible; could be done in conjunction with the Examiners Clinic either the day before or the day after. He felt the Certificat i on Chairman a nd the Technical Chairman should select 6 examiners to choose the Demonstration Team as well as preparing a written test for all ca ndidates to take. A completely new select ion should be made this fall of the Team; start anew so that we don ' t have a ny problems. It should be stipulated tha t Team Members must be fully certified and a member in good sta nding with the Association. Also put in the letter that is senl ol ll tha t r esulLs \'IILl l be final. Spell out what requirements Executive Committee Meeting MinllLres - 10/16/70 Page 3 are expec ted. Phil felt a new team s hould be picked each year. Study should be made of th e expectations of the D01llonstra l ion Team.

Bill felt it was safe to go ahead witlt St e igler's cer tifica tion IOi.th ISlA. Clark en t ertained a motion t hat he be allowed to write Pepi a letter indicaLing t hat lIe had been accepted as a member and explain why '''- had such a de la y in ac cept ing him. How would the SlIn Valley people get transferred into the J\ssocia tion? He should seL li p some way of transferring these people into our divi s ion. We could change th" bylaws o r make it a spec ific way of doing it. Cl a rk wondered what the othe r di visio ns did. Clark said lIe would find out what the others do in rC'ga rd to t ilis probl em .

(Perhaps one who certifies or registers more candidates than any other school.) Discussion was held regarding ISA representative and the politics involved. Dave felt that someone who was not race oriented would be a good representative. Clark said he would call Mike and let him kno\,; a ne\v representative had been appointed. Phil felt we should not change it becallsc one person felt a certain way. Lou felt a neutral person would be a better person to rljHesellt IST1\. TIle President of ISlA would be the ideal person to represent us. Election and Nomination Committee - The question was raised as to whether or not it should be a standing committee or left as a-special committee. };Hlsletter Committee - The Ri'ISIA ne\.;sletter \vas sho\vo to the members. Discussion \.Jas held as to the pros and cons and what the members expect of the newsletter. It was suggested that perhaps Marilyn Sbearer \oJOuld he good for the job. ISL\ Movie - Dave Chaplin has done some research on making a movie for ISlA. We could make a movie for about $1,000. D"vl' felt he \v3s not technically able to make the movie bllt with cooperation of various people could coordinate the effort. A 25-30 minute film would require five to fifteen full d:IVS on tl!e hill. Dave presented to the committee a format regarding some ideas [or l11l' III:lkin).; or LI\(, promotional movie. Do we want a promotional film or a certificaLioll ori"lll('d filll1': LOll felt that the association shollld not finance 3 fi 1m because of expenses. Till' Sk i Slltool Di.rectors should do this or some other committee and raise their v\m fillancjng. Discussion was held regarding the feasibility of doing it. We should contact SOmE' of the other divisions and see what their ideas are on the subject. Clark is going to Aspen and will research their movie. Nothing further will be done pending research. Budget Committee - Discussion was held regarding the proposed budget and exactly \oJhat was expected from the different committees. Lou felt it \vas hard to project expenses especially in the certification area. How much of the registered fee is going to certification and ho\v much to administration? Max ~i'ggested making and study and suggesting to the Executive Committee or BOD the results for their approval. The budget should merely be a guideline; some committees must function on a strict budget and others are variable. Demonstration Team - A proposnl \vilS acccptC'd hy th<' BOD. Max reviewed the proposal with the Committee. He would lik(' to 1tavl' [l ItnifOrIli ilnd ).;et the selection done as soon as poss ible; co,uld be done in conjunct ion \vitll till' I~xaminers Clinic either the day before :H tf't: day after.

Study should be made 8:: L,e expectations of the Demonstration Team. Notion: Hethods of a>lectioll and methods of keepin~ records should be to the discretion of the committee cLain,en s'lhject to approval of the BOD (Lorenz-Jones). ~!'Jtion clrri('d. It \,<1:0 fell a study should be Illade of the expectations of the Demonstration Team. P~pi St('j~ler - Phil talked to nill L<1Eh to find out if these people are certi~ied. PSL\ receives notice from Allstrian system eac;, year with their certified people on it. Stc. L~:ler is certified; commlwications are tied up. Bill felt it was safe to go ahead ,vith Steigler's certificatic'll "ith IST\. Clark entertained a motion that "e be allowed to ,Hite Pepi a letter indicating that :Ie bad heen accepted as a member and explain why ,lie had such a delay in accepting him. Hmo} '.JOuld the SlIn Valley people gEt transferred into the Association? He should set !'p some hay of transferring these people into our division. He could change the bylaws or make it a specific way of doing it. Clark \vondered what the other divisions did. Clark said he would find out what the others do in regard to this problem. Etllics Committee - The prol,lC'TIl of people intcrn'pt-ing meetings was discussed and some SLHt of solution should be come up \vith. l'erl:nps a lptter to K. Smith should ~e sent over the BOD's signature. This WetS included in lIiC meeting of the BOD on Sept. 20. LO'1 felt we should write a letter to the effect that the BOD felt K. Smith's conduct at the Seminar was non-professional in the form of a resolution that if conduct of ti,is nature continues some action will be taken. Clark was given direction to do this. Examiners Clinic - will be held December 6-7 at Park City, weather permitting. PNSIA Examiners Clinic at Mt. Hood in November around the'15th. DisCllssion held. Motion: That we send Lou Lorenz"to the PNSIA Examiners Clinic and pay his air fare, lodging and food expenses (Jones-Ltmdherg). Hotion carried. Motion: That we send the President to the ~ISIA Seminar and that we pay his travel and lodging expenses (Lorenz-Larsen). Motion carried. Clark said he had a man call regarding Austrian people applying for jobs with Sun Valley. He felt that they should not be allmved to fill positions that American instructors can fill. Discussion ~vas held. Hax felt that we needed a reasonable policy regarding thiS, but at this time we cOllld not take a position. Motion: That meeting adjourn., (Jones-Pond) Motion carried.

Representative to I.S.A., and I traveled to Idaho Falls and attended the I.S.A. Board Meeting.

President Wes Deist suggested that the ski instructors sell memberships for I.S.A., and I suggested that we concentrate on selling memberships to the instructors through the ski schools. I indicated that I would discuss with the Executive Committee of I.S.I.A. and the Board methods of implementing membership sales to I.S.I.A. members. Old Business, Board Meeting, September 19 Letters of thanks were sent to the Ponderosa Inn management and staff and to Lex Kunau and Harold Stanger from the President thanking them for their efforts during the Fall Seminar.
