This program provides NSP members with on-snow training for skiing, riding, telemark and toboggan handling skills. Our mission is to provide membership with credentialled education and leadership training in outdoor emergency transportation. Training is provided at local mountains, regional clinics and division Patroller Schools via www.PatrollerSchool.org.The OET Staff is led by the Steering Committee. Steering appoints Division Staff and OET Instructor Trainers (ITs). Regional Directors together with Steering appoint Regional Advisors (RAs). The Senior OET program is managed by the RAs. RAs develop and mentor OET instructors and Senior Trainer Evaluators (TEs). The path to getting involved with the division OET program begins with becoming a Senior Patroller.Patrollers interested in the Senior OET program begin by completing a Senior Candidate Application. The candidate's Patrol Director verifies that the applicant has sufficient knowledge, skills and experience to participate in senior level training.Questions and feedback on OET programs are encouraged and can be made directly through PatrollerSchool.org. Our programs are driven by membership feedback. 81245 21720 Education classes to develop patroller skills in CERTIFIED Program.The NSP Certified Program is a performance-based leadership program that provides an opportunity for patrollers to learn and be tested on critical patroller skills/knowledge. The Certified program has a distinguished history with many of its members serving in National, Division, Regional, and Local patrol leadership positions with a commitment to giving back, fostering learning, and progressing core patroller skills over the years. Success in the Certified program is hard-earned requiring a real commitment to mastering multiple patrol-related disciplines often over multiple years and across regions/divisions to gain a vast and deep knowledge/skill base. Through the program, our members not only build a best-in-class level of expertise but also a sense of camaraderie with fellow patrollers as they work outside their local patrol/region. Your preparation to participate will provide a unique opportunity to learn from others, broaden your experience and sharpen your skills.Admission is not automatic. To apply as a candidate, an applicant's credentials are reviewed by a committee to ensure a minimal level of experience, a commitment to the program, and a track record of leadership and supporting their local patrol/region. Qualified individuals are invited to participate in the annual certified test. The certified exam is an intensive 3-day event that tests all aspects of your patrolling skills. Over the course of the season, multiple events are hosted, including a summer boot camp, to help hone skills and prepare candidates to be successful at the examination.The Certified Program has six core components examining physical endurance, knowledge, and experience, all requiring individual study and travel. The six core components are Avalanche, Outdoor Emergency Care, Outdoor Risk Management, Rope Rescue, Skiing and Riding, and Toboggan Handling. The specifics of each component can be found in a document titled "Certified Program Operations Manual." This member-driven and approved standard is without compromise, where excellence is mandatory and the contents of exams are constantly evolving to remain current with best practices and industry standards.Over the past years, we have come to the conclusion that we make great patrollers even better through a combination of training, education and teaming opportunities. We are working hand in hand with the National Ski Patrol to develop future leaders and excellent patrollers. We have a significant pipeline and we continue to engage and expand our reach into the ranks of the NSP including active participation in all levels of training, testing, leadership development and diversification of the NSP across every program offered. Regional Certified advisors are available to help you find your way through the process and offer you guidance. 627081 30604 127621 Alumni, Avalanche, Awards, Bike, Instructor Development (ID), Memorial/Scholarship, Mountain Travel & Rescue (MTR), Nordic/Backcountry, Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC), Outdoor Risk Management (ORM), Patroller Stress, Safety, Senior, Telecommunications, and Women's. 627081 30604 127621 843925 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X X X Dallas W Coffman 7812460902 348 Park Street Suite 106 North Reading MA 018642153 X Calvin R Goldsmith Division Director [Ex-240505] 20.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Kimberly S Terwilliger Assistant Division Director [Ex-240505] 5.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Wayne R Arsenault Region Director, ME [Ex-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Carl S Chaplin Region Director, NH 5.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Sharon L Friedel Region Director, EPA [Ex-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 J M Grant Fullman Region Director, ENY [Ex-240505] 5.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 James C Giffin Region Director, NVT 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey N Haines Region Director, NJ 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas L Hughes Region Director, CNY 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel C Meess Region Director, WNY [Ex-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher B Mitchell Region Director, EMARI [Ex-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Gordon W Mudge Region Director, CT 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Gerald A Pollard Region Director, WMA [Ex-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey J Welch Region Director, GVR 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Frey A Aarnio Region Director, SVT [Ex-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Peter C Buss Region Director, WAPP 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberly S Terwilliger Region Director, SNY [Ex-240505] 5.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 J M Grant Fullman Division Director [In-240505] 20.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Carl S Chaplin Assistant Division Director [In-240505] 5.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott S Krall Region Director, ME [In-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Kurt D Adam Region Director, EPA [In-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 James E Marco Jr Region Director, ENY [In-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Charles F Dunn Region Director, WNY [In-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Simon P Thomas Region Director, EMARI [In 240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 William D Welch Region Director, WMA [In-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Michael J McGinnis Region Director, SNY [In-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 William H McMinn Region Director, SVT [In-240505] 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy V Mayberry Division Secretary & Administrator 20.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Dallas W Coffman Division Treasurer 20.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 338957 567518 147183 95608 1149266 Subordinate Units Prog 611710 106210 106210 YOUNG ADULT PATROLLERS 611710 55029 55029 CERTIFIED Program 611710 21720 21720 OUTDOOR EMERGENCY TRAN 611710 11691 11691 AVALANCHE Program 611710 11379 11379 11782 4584 7198 217811 38873 38873 139074 6537 121994 2333 17080 4204 21284 17080 4204 567518 319152 248366 248366 Spring Officers Meetin 611710 17157 17157 Credit card awards reb 611710 2725 2725 Winter Officers Meetin 611710 2351 2351 300 300 22533 1698133 250226 0 298641 X 30609 30609 57783 57783 2985 2985 3501 3501 2287 2048 239 13645 12983 662 10083 9876 207 15622 12238 3384 173744 121491 52253 43029 34486 8543 16341 15552 789 23269 22825 444 6958 337 6621 Subordinate units Progr 113202 113202 Meals expenses 111078 78629 32449 Subordinate units Progr 60799 60799 Supplies expenses 46567 46292 275 221963 221790 173 953465 843925 109540 0 1039562 1107247 478596 437187 320 0 216042 68213 83657 147829 1048910 1237706 2651045 2929969 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 2651045 2929969 2651045 2929969 2651045 2929969 X 744668 96938 3501 -566183 X 0 0 0 X 407124 389818 780379 1084526 1056770 3718617 1562 54549 72068 48269 70012 246460 240696 98096 95188 234407 202372 870759 649382 542463 947635 1367202 1329154 4835836 0 0 0 4835836 44116 70701 19998 35956 38873 209644 44116 70701 19998 35956 38873 209644 693498 613164 967633 1403158 1368027 5045480 0.95840 0.95570 0.04160 0.04430 X The organization is primarily funded through member dues and public contributions solicited by members and on the organization's website.
