Board Adopts New eBallot Voting System to Improve Efficiency, Security

LAKEWOOD, Colo. - July 23, 2007 - The National Ski Patrol Board of Directors adopted Votenet (votenet.com), a new electronic voting system, at its annual meeting in June. This eBallot voting system will improve the efficiency and security of the voting process. In addition, it will reduce costs and provide more flexibility in managing the organization's voting needs.

Here are a list of changes NSP members should be aware of:

* There will be no mail ballot.

* Each patroller must find access to a computer and the Internet in order to log-in to the NSP's dedicated voting website.

* Once logged-on, members will be given a voting ID number and a password which they will need to cast their vote.

* NSP members without a home computer are encouraged to utilize the computers of other members or as provided by their public library.

* Members are also encouraged to contact the National office as soon as possible if they have a new email address or wish to change an existing address.

More details of the election will be forwarded to NSP members in the coming weeks. All NSP members are encouraged to vote; the success of NSP's voting process rests in your hands.

Respectfully,

Terry LaLiberte, National Chairman,

National Ski Patrol.
