Willard Marriott Library Ski Archives’ S. Joseph Quinney Award is named in honor of the late Utah lawyer, businessman, state legislator, ski visionary and founder of Alta Ski Area in 1938, who is referred to as “the father of Utah’s ski industry.” The library presents the award to an individual or organization that has exhibited the same public-spirited attributes and contributions to winter sports as its namesake. 2014 S.

Austin Nettleton Texas Tech University MCOM 6050 Master’s Report Acknowledgements This research paper is made possible through the help and support from everyone, including my peers, co-workers, friends and family. Especially, please allow me to dedicate my acknowledgement of gratitude towards the following significant advisors, contributors and persons of importance. First and foremost, I would like to thank my project adviser Ms. Jody Roginson, M.S. for her direct and unabridged guidance, support and assistance. She graciously read my paper, wrote in edits and gave suggestions for corrections and revisions, and kindly offered suggestions to areas of appropriate research, all while donating her valuable time into making sure that I was on the right track writing this paper. Second, I would like to thank Dr. Rebecca Ortiz for instructing me on how to write a research paper, as well as Dr. Glenn Cummins for taking time out of his very busy schedule to read my drafts and suggest edits and revisions. Third, I would like to thank my parents, grandparents and friends for their undying support and encouragement.

    USSTF Board of Trustees' Meeting The Sonnenalp, Vail, Colorado December 3-7, 2014 Welcome Letter December 1, 2014 I would like to welcome you to the annual U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation Board of Trustees' meeting in Vail/Beaver Creek. We have an exciting few days ahead, including the Audi Birds of Prey race this week. After a very successful Olympic year, our athletes spent the summer training at camps around the world in preparation for the FIS Nordic World Championships in Falun, SWE, the FIS Freestyle and Snowboarding World Championships in Kreischberg, AUT and the FIS Alpine World Championships right here in Vail/Beaver Creek. The 2015 season started off on a high note with Mikaela Shiffrin’s GS win at the World Cup opener in Soelden. We had a great turn out at the Nature Valley First Tracks for the U.S. Alpine Ski Team naming at Copper Mountain. Our Foundation Officers, my staff and I are continuing to evolve the format of the board meeting to encourage further involvement, input and discussion from our board members. Similar to the summer meeting format, the chairs of each standing committee will be reporting on the work done in their areas of leadership. Additionally, the working groups created to address questions concerning "direct to athlete" as well as sport-specific giving have been meeting regularly and will report their conclusions. The meeting will also include an executive session designed to allow you to ask me questions in a confidential and privileged setting. I hope you will take this opportunity to engage with us.
