New Committee Chair
After many years leading the National Recognition Committee, I’m excited to step down and pass the reins on to the new committee chair, Wyn Smith (csp109@rogers.com).
Wyn brings a wealth of experience, insight and knowledge to the role of chair and I am grateful I am leaving this committee knowing that Wyn will do an incredible job.
It has been an honour to work with the members of the National Recognition Committee over the years. Honestly, working on this committee has been one of the highlights of my CSP career.
What an amazing opportunity to read the many hundreds of submissions as they truly highlight what a great organization we belong to.
Thank you again to the Canadian Ski Patrol and its members for giving me such a great opportunity and experience.
