The purpose of a Section Chief is to assist the Region Director with general leadership of the section along with any assignments the Region Director may devise for the good of the overall Section or Region. The Section Chief is expected to develop a working relationship with the patrol leadership within the Section and assist in any way possible to alleviate or correct patrol related problems, including possible meetings with ski area management/owner personnel. The Section Chief has a vote on any proposed Amendments to the CT Region by-laws and budget.
New Section Chiefs are expected to attend a “New Officers” training session which is held by the Eastern Division at its annual Spring Officers’ Meeting which will be remote in early May. Section Chiefs are expected to submit a written report pertaining to the scope of their activity and responsibilities for the past year to the Region Director no later than the Regional Spring Officers’ Meeting.
Each Section Chief carries a vote as a delegate to the Eastern Division Spring Officers’ Meeting to represent their Section/Region in matters on which they are required to vote, matters such as by-law changes, dues increases, and budget approvals.
The Section Chief is elected by a simple majority of the Patrol Representatives or equivalent, of the patrols in the Section.

A Section Chief can be re-elected twice for a maximum of six (6) years (three, two-year terms).
CT Region Historian
The CT Region has a rich history that we need to appreciate and preserve for current and future patrollers. Are you interested in researching and curating records of our history before this is lost forever? We're not just looking for facts (which is important) but we're looking for stories, photos, videos -- anything relating to our region's history.
If you think you might be interested, contact Skip Mudge.

Assistant Treasurer Announced
​
I am very pleased to announce that Liz Fenner has just accepted a new position as the Eastern Division Assistant Treasurer. Dallas Coffman, Eastern Division Treasurer has been looking for an Assistant Treasurer for quite some time. When discussions began at the Eastern Division board meeting last spring, he stated that his first choice would be one of our 15 region treasurers. He continued on saying that one name came to mind, the CT Region Treasurer, Liz Fenner. A formal search committee was formed and an extensive search ensued.
Many candidates were carefully considered by the division’s Finance Committee (to whom our Treasurer reports). Her qualifications and Finance Committee’s endorsement were presented to ED Board of Directors and she was unanimously approved to be the Eastern Division’s first Assistant Treasurer.
Liz will continue to serve as our CT Region Treasurer.
Please congratulate Liz on this important appointment.
