Behind the Scenes

Twenty individuals make up your ski club’s current Board of Directors, including elected positions, appointed Committee chairpersons and current trip leaders for future trips. 

What’s on my mind today is how smart, insightful, focused and dedicated these individuals are when it comes to making our club run well. All have diverse and valuable talents and areas of expertise that they are willing to share.These folks are intent on making the right decisions for our organization and they work well together. I feel so fortunate to have this group making up the board.

One challenge the board has is to shift focus as our members’ needs change.This is something I think we are doing rather well. Admittedly, it’s a never-ending pursuit.This is where you as a member may impact the direction of our activities.Voice your ideas for new activities at meetings or to board members whenever you like as well as let us know how you feel about the things we are currently doing.

In an effort to keep my column short enough that it is likely to be read, I’ll end with a quote from Mae West - “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
