Years of Service. 2010-2011.

I have had the pleasure of working with Debi and Bill Phelps for the past five seasons. I am writing to nominate both Debi and Bill Phelps to recognize them for their service to skiing with the Terry Smith Award.

It is an understatement to say that Debi and Bill are amazing resources, wonderful leaders and tremendous representatives of the Open League and recreational ski racing. Either one of them considered alone would be worthy candidates for Far West recognition – but the fact that they are married and a proverbial “package deal” makes them even more powerful and synergistic candidates, and therefore, I am nominating them both together.

I have attached a spreadsheet that recaps their respective volunteer efforts over the past 18 (yes, eighteen!) seasons! It sounds cliché to say that the Open League couldn’t function without them, but I honestly don’t know what we would do without their leadership and selfless efforts to keep the League running. The spreadsheet speaks for itself but the last two seasons are typical – Debi has served as League Chair, webmaster, race director for her team and race scheduler. Bill has served as Vice Chair for the past two seasons and has been doing time keeping and scoring for the past ten years!

Yes, Far West racing is a volunteer run organization and there are countless examples of people who do what they do because they love recreational ski racing and they love to give back to the ski racing community. But Debi and Bill Phelps go above and beyond and I cannot think of two more deserving individuals than this couple who has tirelessly, consistently, selflessly and graciously given back. I have “only” known them for five seasons and I asked Debi to recap their volunteer efforts for me – I was overwhelmed by the magnitude of their contributions and I believe that they are not only deserving of recognition – but it is long overdue.
