My name is Tina Sorell. This year, I am celebrating my 30th year in the OC SKI Club, and have accepted nomination for Board of Directors. During my first 15 years, I volunteered in numerous ways. I served 4 years as a Member of the Board of Directors. I was Chair of the Activities & Entertainment Committee for 4 years. So many events, dinner parties, boat cruises, happy hours. Year-round fun. In addition, I served as Trip Leader for alpine trips out west, Mt. Bachelor and Lake Tahoe, and in the northeast to Stowe and Whiteface. Early on, I xc skied, and organized and participated in that too! And I played volleyball for about 15 years. My passions now focus on downhill skiing, kayaking, camping, golf, fishing and hunting. For that reason, I moved to the Adirondacks, very close to Gore Mountain, making my adventures happen. This is what this ski club and its members taught me, and what I want to pay forward.
Skiing in Europe 3 years, and out west for 25 years, plus numerous trips to Sunday River, Stowe, Smugglers Notch, Jay Peak, Mt. Tremblant, Whiteface and others have been a gift.
I also bring experience of membership with several other ski clubs, seeing what works and what doesn’t for them. Year-round activities are important to keep the camaraderie, excitement, opportunity, fun and membership going. Listening to what members want is priority, and bringing new ideas!
Volunteers are dedicated in giving their time for a purpose, making membership meaningful. I am offering my time to serve the membership, and continue the success and mission of the OC Ski Club. If you think I represent what you are looking for, then I welcome your vote.
