We are just beginning one of the most challenging seasons our industry has ever faced. It is the job of you, our members, to deliver memorable outdoor recreation experiences under the most unusual and difficult of circumstancesΒ and our members need you!

SUPPORT HIGHLIGHTS

  • We have allocated $15,380 in scholarships to our members, more than double the previous season, and provided $7,500 in support of Premier and Education Staff Events.

  • We are also proud to sponsor our Demonstration Team candidates for National Team Tryouts.

  • We have placed an emphasis on professional equity, specifying equal numbers of men and women in Multiple Certification and Level 2 & 3 Scholarships.

This year, more than ever, our members depend on support from the Education Foundation and you, our valued donors to help them through these challenging times.

  • Your support is critical. Our emphasis this season is on helping our members with certification scholarships, as so many missed spring exams when resorts closed due to Covid-19.

  • Certification achievement equals increased earning potential for our members.

  • We are optimistic exams will happen, and we are encouraging members to apply early.
