Jerry served the West Region as Programs VP for 8 years, but felt it time to step away a couple years ago for someone else to arrange meetings and assist with programs. Over those seasons in this capacity, our members had opportunities for two adventures to Europe and meetings at Taos, Copper Mountain, Jackson Hole, Kimberley/Fernie, Tamarack, Big Mountain (now Whitefish Mountain Resort), Deer Valley and other snowsports resorts in the West. He finds it a pleasure to work with our corporate partners and believes it is our role to produce media exposure for them after holding a meeting at their venue.
