Goal StatementsMembership The NSP is a dynamic, membership-driven organization. Our goal is to create a more

diverse membership and increase our membership participation, both by delivering more knowledge and value to our members and increasing the number of patrols and patrollers.

Education Education is the cornerstone of the NSP's ability to service the public. We develop our

education curriculum with the goal of being the gold standard for volunteer, medically-oriented programs. Our education program must exceed our members' expectations for quality, relevance, and timeliness.

Brand The NSP brand is a valued and visible presence in the ski industry and on the hill.

Building the brand's image furthers our ability to deliver excellent service to both our members and the outdoor community.

Infrastructure Creating a solid infrastructure, with full staffing levels, modern technological systems,

and annual assessments on areas of improvement allows the NSP to communicate and build better relationships with its members and other organizations.

 Stability and Sustainability The NSP maintains a growing and sustainable organization through effective, targeted

fundraising and business growth, recruiting new members, and creating value to retain existing members.
