Aloha! I hope you had a great ski season. In reviewing the Children’s program metrics for the past ski season, we had over 227 profession- als participate in a Children’s Specialist (CS) event. On behalf of the CS team, I want to thank you for your continued support. The National Children’s Task Force has initiated its annual review of the CS curriculum, and although no significant changes are anticipated, there may be a few tweaks. Details to follow in the fall. Please continue to check the Children’s Specialist section at www.psia-i.org/allOther.htm for curriculum updates - as revised CS Standards will be posted soon. I hope you have a wonderful summer.
