Dear Member,
Ski & Snowboard Australia (SSA) is the nationally and
internationally recognized authority governing competitive
snowsports in Australia. SSA is recognized by the Federation
Internationale de Ski (FIS), Australian Olympic Committee, and the
Australian Sports Commission.
Ski & Snowboard Australia conducts events and programs in alpine
skiing, cross country skiing, freestyle skiing, and snowboarding.
Ski & Snowboard Australia has three fundamental aims:
|
1. |
To increase
the level of participation in competitive skiing and
snowboarding. |
|
2.
|
To create a
realistic and applicable pathway for competitive athletes; and |
|
3. |
To create and
financially support programs and athletes who can successfully
compete at World Cup, World Championships and
Olympic levels in all disciplines of skiing and
snowboarding. |
The Australian Sports Commission and
the board of SSA are conducting a comprehensive review into the
constitutional arrangements between SSA and its stakeholders.
The review is similar to that of which several National Federations
have undergone in recent years, and is consistent with the ASC
policy of continual improvement in governance and management.
The ASC and SSA are committed to an inclusive and transparent
process. The SSA website will be the major source of information
regarding the review including results of steering committee
meetings, and opportunity for feedback.
The process and indicative timeline for the review is as follows:
|
Distribute questionnaire to stakeholders |
7th April |
|
Questionnaires returned to ASC |
7th May |
|
Face-to-face or telephone discussion, regarding submissions,

steering committee |

governance options by steering committee Late June
