Insight from Veteran Patroller going from previous PNW Division Director to newly elected NSP BOD member.

We talk with newly elected National Board member Shelly Urban about the long campaign, how conventions differ across divisions, and why defining our lane as an educational organization safeguards standards nationwide. She shares priorities around OEC consistency, tech modernization, mountain hosts, and wellness. The PNWD History Project:  Shirley Cummings, the official history project coordinator, (& all around fabulous lady), has been on a mission: Collect and assemble an archive of stories and pictures from the different ski patrols within the Pacific Northwest Division.
