FWSA Safety Person of the Year!
REMEMBER***Clubs Must Nominate***REMEMBER
The FWSA Safety Program is looking to name the 2008 Safety Person of the Year! The winner of the 2008 contest to be named the FWSA Safety Person of the Year will receive a trip for two to Aspen in 2009, including seven nights lodging and six days skiing plus rentals at any of the fabulous mountains in Aspen. The winner also will also receive roundtrip airfare for 2 people (airlines may vary depending on departing city and may not be direct).
The judging criteria focus on promoting safety awareness among FWSA members and demonstrating support for safety on the slopes. Also important will be the overall performance of the winners club in doing the same. In other words, a club that has best demonstrated a willingness to involve itself in safety promotion and actions will select and nominate its candidate for Safety Person of the Year. The nominee must be able to document that through his/her leadership, the club demonstrated its safety involvement and sponsorship of safety related activities during the 2007-2008 ski season. Judging will be by club nomination and will be done by an esteemed group of safety experts and leaders of FWSA.
