The NCWSA is seeking applications from individuals interested in filling any of the four open committee chair positions. All 2019 committee chair appointments must apply alongside new applicants before the March 17th deadline.
Each committee chair is appointed to a one year term by the NCWSA National Chairperson.
Each committee chair leads a committee (described at the end of this post) containing representatives from each region as well as one AAC member. Should the committee be required to officially vote on a matter, the chair orchestrates the vote and presents the results to the NCWSA Chairperson or Board of Directors but does not get a vote (except to break a tie) unless the chair is also a representative on the committee.
Committee chairs are provided a small travel stipend to help offset travel costs and encourage participation at the annual January NCWSA Board of Directors meeting. The awards chair is also provided a small travel stipend to All-Stars and Nationals as they are the primary coordinator for event awards at the two National level NCWSA events.

Committee Descriptions
Awards Committee
This committee makes sure proper awards are prepared and ready to be distributed at the time or event associated with each individual award or award grouping. Additionally, the awards committee may present changes to the Board in terms of awards presentation, actual award design, and pitch additional awards possibilities.
The NCWSA Awards Committee currently governs the following awards:
- Annual Awards: Male & Female Athlete of the Year, Male & Female Outstanding Leader of the Year, and NCWSA Team of the Year
- NCWSA Nationals Awards: Bill Stevenson Outstanding Driver Award, Phil Chase Outstanding Official or Volunteer Award, NCWSA All American Team, and the NCWSA Nationals Spirit Award
- Academic All-Star Team
- NCWSA Hall of Fame
Marketing Committee
This committee helps secure annual promotions and sponsorships for the NCWSA while also working with NCWSA All-Stars and Nationals tournament hosts to secure event based sponsorship opportunities.
Additionally, the committee looks to promote collegiate water skiing at many possible venues including online through ncwsa.com and across social media. Promotional tasks may include coordinating video contests with USA Water Ski & Wake Sports or sponsors, advertising collegiate skiing at the events of another USA-WSWS subdivision such as AWSA Nationals, creating guides for teams to grow and manage their social media.
Membership Committee
For the past several years the membership committee was combined with the marketing committee. However, as the NCWSA looks toward a period of growth the M&M committee was split back into two separate committees.
This committee is responsible for the growth of the NCWSA. While maintaining skier growth on individual teams is important, growing the NCWSA as a whole is one of the primary goals of this committee. This includes helping fledgling teams, helping struggling teams, and looking to start new teams.
Operations Committee
This committee is responsible for maintaining and amending the NCWSA governance documents. This includes proposing new rules or alterations to current rules for the betterment of the NCWSA alongside the goal of providing fair competition for all athletes entered in an NCWSA sanctioned competition.
