ESWA President's Message Exciting times for Snowsports Journalists By Dan Cassidy Greetings ESWA colleagues and interested journalists, This is an exciting time for serious ski journalists, freelance writers, photographers, authors and Internet savvy social media writers who enjoy writing about outside winter experiences or report on racing venues. If you are a member, you know full well about the benefits of Eastern Ski Writers Association (ESWA) and the North American Snowsports Journalists Association (NASJA) events that are planned during our winter months. For writers who may be thinking about a future in our organization, now is the time to take that step and find out more about what we do. For example, ESWA is preparing to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2013. Our organization consists of four categories of membership, Active Press, Honorary Press, Retired Press and Corporate. We organize and attend several conferences during the fall and winter seasons, both on and off snow. We also provide excellent professional development seminars to help our members find interesting topics for their outlets. ESWA also publishes an electronic newsletter with information on the snowsports industry and member activities. ESWA works closely with our corporate members that invite press members to their resorts for conferences, to share news and give media representatives opportunities to ski and snowboard. This is your chance to network with veteran journalists and gain lifetime friendships and contacts. Our snow activities include all aspects of snowsports - Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing, and we'd like to have you consider membership. For additional information about membership contact ESWA Executive Secretary/Treasurer Bill Clapper, secretary@easternskiwriters.org. He will send you materials for your review. In the meantime, ski and ride safely. Use your head and don't forget to wear a helmet.
