On January 25, 2023, following a Special Meeting (online), the Eastern Region Council approved two motions: (1) to amend the Eastern Region Policy & Procedures to include 7.3.6 Junior Skiers Reimbursement Policy; and (2) to accept Michael Shelhamer as an appointed judge to the 2023 Eastern Regionals.  Pursuant to the reimbursement policy, a member of the International Activities Committee will be contacting the junior skiers who participated in recent international ski tournaments.  The approved policy and pertinent discussions can be found on the below links.
