The NZSIA currently consists of four different divisions; Ski, Snowboard (SBINZ), Telemark and Adaptive (in partnership with DSNZ). Each division has some form of committee, however the Alliance as a whole is directed by the NZSIA Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee is comprised of a number of different positions filled by highly experienced individuals. Some of these positions are nominated and voted upon by the membership, others are employees of the Alliance.
To learn more about the Telemark examining team please look through our Examiners list and read about the individuals themselves.
Outside of our active Examiners or Divisional Committee Members there are two very important roles within this organisation…
