Shawn Smith has been awarded the Educational Excellence Award by the American Snow Sports Education Association (ASEA) Board of Directors (PSIA - AASI). The award was presented to him at the 2008 National Academy in Snowbird, UT. Shawn who is currently the Director of Resort Services at Stevens Pass, received this award as a result of his tireless contributions to the organization, including, but not limited to over 20 years of participation on the National Team. Even though this is a prestigious award and one that is handed out sparingly to honor those have made immeasurable contributions to our association, we can never fully thank Shawn for his time, effort and lasting educational contributions to the organization over the last 25 years. Congratulations, Shawn! This award is well deserved.
