At the BASI General Meeting held in Geneva last weekend and a subsequent Member’s Forum, Alex Leaf was voted in as the new Alpine Director. The position on the Board was left vacant at the AGM in October when former Alpine Director Gareth Roberts was voted in as the new Chairman.
Originally from Torbay and now based in Les Arcs, Alex, a popular figure within the snowsports industry, has been a BASI member since 1977 and a trainer for the last 20 years. He has represented BASI at Interski events in Norway and Japan and his career has involved working in many corners of the world including Europe, Canada, the USA and Argentina. Before setting up his own snowsports training company, World Class Skiing, with fellow BASI trainers, he managed Plymouth Ski Centre prior to running a retail, events and online sales company in the adventure sports industry.
Upon taking up the Alpine Director’s role on the BASI Board, Alex commented, “I am proud to have been voted on the Board of Directors for BASI. I have been a member of BASI for over 30 years and in that time I have seen many changes and developments. I feel that the association is in a stable and positive position from which it can grow and develop, with this in mind, I am looking forward to the challenges which no doubt will arise and to the role of being the voice for our membership.”
Congratulations,
alex leaf!

Welcome to snowheads.
Have a look at this thread http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?p=1593450&highlight=beanie1#1593450
I have been asked by a few people to post questions to BASI. Although answers seem a little slow

stewart woodward, your particular question has been directed to the French Minster for Sport! Hence the slow response. BASI are following it up though.

sixman,
Here's the answer to your question from Dave Renouf:
"Having the title of “stagiaire” means that the person has entered into the French training system and BASI has no jurisdiction in that area as this is the French domain. In that system the French themselves have to start from scratch again if they want to carry on. As to the logic of it, I can’t give a clear understanding as to the French perspective.
With regard to the ageist question this is something that we put to the EU commission a few years back and the reply was that for education there is no concession as the standards for a teacher of any sort should be the same whatever the age, despite there being a difference for gender. However on that point their opinion is that taking into account the difference in strength from male to female is within the understanding that the end result of capacity to teach is no different."
