The Western Region Merit Award

Time to submit votes for the award.
Please submit your nominations to Richelle by July 5th.  See below for the description of the award. This will be presented to the deserving individual at the General Membership meeting at Regionals.

The Western Region Merit Award
Formerly The Rich Slingerland Memorial Award
Every year since 1975 the Western Region has recognized a member or an official who epitomized friendship, dedication with integrity. The first award was presented at the US National tournament and is now one of the Western Region’s most prestigious honors. This award was established and is maintained for a deserving person who might otherwise go unnoticed.

All Western Region members are welcome & encouraged to submit nominations for this award to their local councilperson or to Richelle Muhlitner prior to the Regional tournament.
Thanks, Richelle

Team Skiing at Regionals & Nationals

AWSA has adopted a team skiing format for the Regional and National competitions in 2016. An outline of the competition can be found on Page 61 of the Western Regional Guide. Please check in with your team captains who are your Council Representative. Nine teams will compete at the West Regional’s for a chance to compete at the Nationals for the Team Championship. Get behind your team, train with team members, and cheer everyone on to make the Regionals an integrated competition. Maybe even pick up another event to help your team score points.
