Those present were: Dr. Voorhees Woody Anderson Claude Jones Dave Parkinson Bi 11 Lash J. R. (Bob) Smith Lou Lorenz Dennis Staley Bob Zeigler Lex Kunau Don Rhinehart Wes Deist Lloyd Frank Credentials Committee Report by Bob Zeigler Had good results as a result of our actions last fall concerning de­ linquent members. Action concerning those few remaining will be de­ layed until after this clinic. Bob will be at the door to see that members in good standing only are allowed to attend the general meeting on Saturday. All newly certified people who have completed the exam by this time will be allowed to attend this meeting. Motion by Lloyd Frank, seconded: that this report be accepted as read. Motion carried. Publicity Committee Report by Dave Parkinson Both Salt lake newspapers have been contacted concerning this clinic and there will be something in the paper. Bob Smith is going to take pictures for TV. The newspapers were contacted before the big exam held in Park City early in April but there was never any publicity concerning this. Financial Report by J. R. (Bob) Smith Early in the season we had some financial problems due to the fact / that there were no clinics held and no certification exams until after Christmas. The budget program has been quite marginal and in a state of fluctuation. But we are solvent at the present. We do have money to hire more group leaders for this clinic. The chair made a motion, seconded: that we hire more people to work tomorrow, April 23. Motion carried. Last year the group leaders were paid $15.00. The only way we have to raise money for the ISlA is clinics, certification, dues, and registration. Certification is the biggest source of revenue. We charge $10.00 a day to put on an ISlA clinic. We could raise more money if the out-lying areas would sponsor more clinics. Secretary's Report by Lloyd Frank. The fine on Muffy Corbet should be recended as her letter was lost. Motion made, seconded and carried. Any other business was deferred until the meeting on Sunday. Adrien Seigil is the clinic chairman. He has had a great deal of help from Woody Anderson and Dave Parkinson. -2- Certification Committee (Lou Lorenz, Chairman) had no report. There had been some questions regarding the- no,tification of certification candidates following the exam. The general policy is that the r~su1ts are posted in the area at the end of the day. If it is a two=day exam, they are posted at the end of the second day. They are published in the newspapers as soon as possible after the exam. We make every possible effort to notify these people but they should show a little incentive and try to find out for themselves. Motion by Bill Lash, seconded that each candidate be notified of the re­ sults of the examination by mail as soon as possible. Motion carried. Those going off the Board of Directors are: Dr. Voorhees Lou Lorenz Dean Roberts Chuck Quinn Bob Zeigler A nominating committee will be appointed by the present chairman. Don Rhinehart explained to the Board why Sigi Engl was unable to attend the clinic. The meeting was adjourned. As transcribed, Bob Zeigler, Secretary, ISlA MINUTES - CERTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEETING ISlA Convention - April 23, 1965 The Certification Committee meeting was called to order by Chairman Lou Lorenz at 1:30 pm, April 23, 1965, at the Treasure Mountains Activity Center. Those present were: Lou Lorenz, Eddie Morris, Dean Roberts, Don Rhinehart, Keith Lange and Woody Anderson. Discussion concerning the examiners clini.c to be held in the falL Just what are we going to be looking for in this meeting? Technique and the limits of the American Technique. The scoring done by the examiners is pretty much the same. Certification exams should be held for all levels of candidates. The committee does not believe in holding an exam for say, associates only. Instructors should teach by their own experience to some extent other than by the book. This examiners clinic will be a good thing but we certainly don l t want all of the examiners to be exactly the same. We have to establish what is within the limits of the basic principles. The examiners clinic should be limited to only those people involved. Examiners, student examiners and ski school directors. The ski school directors can go back and train their people on the same line. Motion by Don Rhinehart seconded that all examiners, assistant examiners, invi­ tational appointees, ski school directors and assistant directors be invited to attend the clinic. Motion carried. Motion by Keith Lange, seconded that all qualified examiners have their ex­ penses paid by the association. Motion carried. -3- Don Rhinehart extended an invitation to anyone interested that they attend the Sun Valley clinic held in the fall at Sun Valley. The meeting of examiners was set tentatively for November 13, 14. It will be held someplace in the Salt Lake area. During the clinic they will go into the whole examining procedure especially the teaching phase. Perhaps the candidate should not teach the finished form; just teach exercises. The ski school direc­ tor should be preparing people for the examination and teaching people to teach skiing. The committee feels that it is a mistake to fully certify someone who has had no teaching experience. There is no way of knowing whether a person has had this experience; therefore, you must examine for it. Perhaps the examiners will have to change their approach. All of the examiners should be told to look for this teaching ability. Motion by Keith Lange, seconded, that the ISlA certification board recommend to the PSIA that they change their numerical scoring to be used only as a guide toward the examiners conclusion. Motion carried. Question: How do we select new examiners? By vote of the certification committee. The certification committee will look over the membership list and check over the names. We need to add more names to the list of apprentice examiners. These people should be from outside the Salt Lake area. Meeting adjourned.

Mr. Sears gave a most interesting talk concerning a survey conducted in Vail this year. This survey pertained to the number of ski accidents they had and their effect on things like numbers of days lost on the job, ski days lost at Vail and other areas, night not spent in Vail and other areas, money not spent on ski equipment. Mr. Sears feels that there are several ways to prevent ski accidents and the ski instructors could do much more than the ski patrol to reduce the number of injuries. Explanation of terminology such as who has the right of way, etc. would help. People who ski in groups have the lowest accident rate. People should ski with others who are of the same ability as themselves. A question and answer session followed. -4- April 23 Membership Meeting Minutes (continued) Report on Seventh Interski by Mr. Bill Lash and Dr. Voorhees. The Seventh Interski was held in Badgastein, Austria, in January of this year. When Interski was started in 1951, technique and grade of instruction were its primary interests. Since then it has come a long way. It is now interested in the pleasure skier, the ski instructor and skier in the ski school. Mr. Lash said that the weather in Badgastein was bad during the congress. The Americans made a sincere effort to get everyone together. Three of the nations represented there ski the same technique. The French technique is easy to learn and suits the personality of the French people. The Austrian technique is based on the fact that the ski schools have a whole week to work with the same people. They have very little traversing. The American Technique was created for the American people. The Japanese ski the Austrian technique. Mr. Lash felt that the high-light of the Congress was the young boys. The Italians and Austrians had demonstration teams composed of boys from 8 to 14 years of age. They showed a completely different way of skiing than the older people and Mr. Lash said they skied more like the Americanso The Eighth lnterski will be held in Aspen, Colorado in 1968 and he urged us all to start making plans now to attend. Dr. Voorhees showed a movie that he had taken at the Interski and in the other parts of Europe which the team visited. Meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m. As transcribed, Bob Zeigler, Secretary, ISlA MINUTES - 1965 ANNUAL MEETING The general membership meeting of the ISlA was called to order by President Dr. Voorhees at 2:15 p.m. on April 24, 1965, in the Treasure Mountains Activity Center.
