SD Presidents/BOD Members (cc Committee Cochairs, Dept Director &AWSA rep):<br>
<br>
At the request of staff and others, I am appointing this advisory committee to
help forward the efforts of the USA-WS Membership Department to remodel our
current national federation grassroots program to one designed to more readily
and easily involve and attract participants in a multitude of towed water
sports. <br>
<br>
Simply put, the overall goals are as follows:<br>
1. to re-brand, energize and promote the USA Water Ski Grassroots program;</span></font><font

style='font-family:Arial;color:black;background:white'><br>
</span></font><font size=2 color=black face=Arial BACK="#ffffff" PTSIZE=10
FAMILY=SANSSERIF><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black;
background:white'>2. to reestablish USA Water Ski’s role as the industry
leader in generating water activity; and<br>
3. to develop a simple, turnkey program that rewards organizers through
incentives enhancing their competitions.</span></font><font color=black

</span></font><font size=2 color=black face=Arial BACK="#ffffff" PTSIZE=10
FAMILY=SANSSERIF><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black;
background:white'>Former USA-WS COB Mark Crone (among many titles) and newly
appointed Membership Marketing Manager Lindsey Lauck have agreed to serve as
co-chairs. <br>
<br>
As AWSA President, I am appointing current USA-WS COB, AWSA VP and NSL Co.
chair as AWSA rep.<br>
<br>
Please give me the name an email address of an individual, perhaps even someone
not already up to his or her ears in volunteer work, that has the passion, time
and commitment to serve on this committee. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Deadline:
October 26.</span></b><br>
<br>
The time is now. We are very excited about renewing our commitment to and focus
on this all-important NGB wide program with your help. <br>
<br>
Additionally, it is time that we started to work together more as a team to
grow and promote this and other programs that could and should involve multiple
sport divisions.<br>
<br>
Part of the process will lead to tie ins to other programs that are now in the
works.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Jim Grew, USA-WS President <br>
