PSIA-AASI Women’s Council for Equity and Inclusion
The mission of the Women’s Council for Equity and Inclusion is to invest in women through educational programming, women’s events, financial support and mentoring at the local, regional and national levels. It also acts as the visionary steering group for creating opportunities for women in leadership in PSIA-AASI and the greater snowsports industry. This group helped revive the women’s summit as a national event, and is actively working with schools and instructors to collect data, develop resources and programs, and guide and inform PSIA-AASI efforts.
