by Chris Gill
Vice President - Council Services, FWSA
The role of VP of Council Services is to provide a platform for all council presidents of
the western region to meet several times a year to collaborate and administer the FWSA
awards programs down to the club level. This gives the council presidents an opportunity to
work with the committee chairs on areas that might require improvements to their current
programs.
Council Services oversees the following FWSA programs:
n Club and Council Communication and Outstanding Club Awards
n Councils' Man and Woman of the Year Recognition
n Charities and Our Community
n Family and Youth Involvement and the Social Media Recognition Award
The Club and Council Awards provide an opportunity to reward hard working volunteers.
Our committee chairs strive to administer competitions that are relevant and that
are easy to enter.
The Charity & Community Service Recognition Program, chaired by Sigrid Noack,
highlights the good work our clubs and councils do to benefit their communities. Our councils
and clubs provide an amazing amount of support to local and national charities. Details on
the charity and community works of FWSA clubs can be found on pages 52-54. The yearly
club and council charity recognition program provides clubs and councils the opportunity to
document and showcase their good work for their communities.
The Councils' Man and Woman of the Year Recognition Program invites councils to
send an outstanding man and woman from their member clubs to the FWSA Annual Convention,
where they are honored, and compete for the FWSA Councils' Man and Woman of
the Year recognition. Sheri Parshall chairs this recognition program, and has made changes
to ensure that each candidate has a wonderful FWSA Convention experience. Currently, the
VP of Council Services, along with the council presidents, are moving forward with re-naming
the program at the 2021 Convention. The program will be called The Councils Volunteer(s)
of the Year. We are grateful to Big White Ski Resort for their continued sponsorship of this
program over many years. They provide a ski trip for two to Big White Ski Resort to the FWSA
winning man and woman honorees. Additional details on this MWOTY program can be found
on pages 56 - 57.
The Club and Council Communications and Outstanding Club Awards saw significant
changes in the application and judging process in the last couple of years. Bill King, who
chairs this award, does an outstanding job of setting up the judging criteria to make it a lot
easier for the judges to complete their tasks. We have seen an increase in submissions since
this change. This is a great way to acknowledge those clubs and councils who work hard at
updating their newsletters and websites. An electronic medallion is given for them to display.
Council Services is very excited to announce that we have added a new category to our
Club and Council Communication Awards this year. Todd Hood, along with Becki Robinson,
were able to create criteria to implement this program in time for the FWSA 2021 Convention.
The program will be using the Facebook pages of both the clubs and councils. The judging
criteria will be based on metrics derived from the percentage of audience, activity, engagement
and reactions.
The Family and Youth Program has changed its focus toward a club and council recognition
program. Linda Coxen, program chair, is in the process of updating this program.
FWSA will offer a Certificate of Recognition to those clubs and councils who work with youth
and families in the area of snowsports. The first awards will be presented at the FWSA Convention
in 2022 in Portland, Oregon.
Council Services strives to provide roughly 150 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 and requests
for information at vpcouncilservices@fwsa.org. I look forward to hearing from you. ss
