Description:
The Eastern Leadership Roundup is a one-day follow-up to the Snowsports Management Seminar, designed for leaders across the Eastern Division to reconvene, reflect, and re-energize. The morning will be spent on snow with a light focus, creating space for reconnection, movement, and informal exchange. In the afternoon, participants will gather indoors for a facilitated roundtable conversation. This generative discussion will encourage sharing of best practices, debriefing of the past season, and sparking of creative ideas to support upcoming budgeting and planning efforts.

- On-snow guided warm-up and light activities designed for collaboration and connection
