Vice President - Council Services, FWSA

The position of Vice President of Councils Services is to work together with the presidents
of the 10 FWSA member councils to manage programs and initiatives that benefit our clubs.
This has been a primary goal of the FWSA organization. We have talented and involved individual council presidents and program chairs that work very hard to administer the programs
we oversee.
Council Services oversees the following FWSA programs: Club and Council Communications and Outstanding Club Awards, Councils' Man and Woman of the Year Recognition,
Charities and Our Community and Family and Youth Program.
The Club and Council Awards program provides an opportunity to recognize and reward
hard working volunteers. Our committee chairs strive to administer competitions that are relevant along with easy submissions.
The Charities & Our Community Service Recognition chaired by Sigrid Noack, highlights the good works our clubs and councils do to benefit their communities. The yearly club
and council charity efforts are given a platform through this program each year at our annual
convention. The club and council submissions are shown on a video slide show during the
convention. Each one of the clubs and councils are awarded a certificate, which can be displayed on their website.
The Councils' Man & Woman of the Year Program is chaired by Sheri Parshall. This
program offers councils the opportunity to send an outstanding man and woman from their
member clubs to the annual convention. The candidates submit applications and go through
an oral interview. The candidates are honored at the FWSA Luncheon and Awards Banquet.
We are extremely grateful to Big White Ski Resort for their continued sponsorship of this
program. Big White provides a ski trip for two to their resort to the FWSA winning Man and
Woman of the year.
The Club & Council Communications and Outstanding Club Awards Program is
chaired by Bill King, who has done an outstanding job providing for easy submissions and
judging. This award allows clubs and councils to enter their website, newsletter and overall
programs for recognition. Next year we will be adding social media as part of the judging criteria.
The Family & Youth Program is chaired by Linda Coxen. We are in the process of
developing a new direction for this program. We are looking at a recognition certificate/award
to those clubs and councils who have programs offered to family and youth.
Council Services strives to provide our hundreds of FWSA ski clubs with tools and information to successfully serve their members. We welcome ideas and feedback from club
members and anyone reading this publication. Please contact me with your ideas or request
for information at cmg@san.rr.com. ss
