Hey North Tahoe athletes! Here is your chance to represent our series at a National level.

USASA is creating an Athletes Council and each series can provide one athlete to be their series ambassador to the council.

🎖️DUTIES OF AN AMBASSADOR:
:: Attend the Athletes Council Meeting. Ambassadors will elect a new Athletes Representative.
What is an Athlete's Representative? Currently there are two Athletes Representatives, one representing Snowboard and one representing FreeSki. These positions are held by athletes and are part of the USASA Executive Committee. Athlete Representatives are elected alternate years between Snowboard and FreeSki. For the 2026/2027 season the FreeSki representative position is up.

::Attend an initial virtual meeting, planned for late April with the official meeting to occur in the fall prior to USASA staff's annual meeting

🎖️REQUIREMENTS TO BE AN AMBASSADOR:
:: Member of good standing with the USASA in the 2025/2026 season
:: At least 14 years of age

Some guidelines:
:: Compete with the USASA for two or more years
:: Have the time to be a part of the Athletes Council, expected to be a minimum of a few hours a year.

Asks of those who are on the council:
:: Share their impressions with the Athletes Representatives
:: Help with the nominating process and finding candidates
:: If attending nationals meet up with the Athletes Representative(s) and other council members.

If you are interested in being the North Tahoe Ambassador to the Athletes Council, please email Lori at lclemente@usasa.org. We want to have our NTS Ambassador appointed prior to the 2026 Nationals.

⭐️ This is a wonderful opportunity for a local athlete to have an impact at the national level, gain experience working alongside athletes from around the county, and to have our NTS voices heard.⭐️
