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.
