Life Members
Life members are elected by the Patrol in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the welfare of the Patrol and its members. Life members have made a significant difference to the patrol through their work ethic, dedication, selflessness, and commitment.
A “life member” is a member or former member who has been selected by the committee, on the basis of outstanding contribution to the Association. Their appointment as a “life member” is confirmed by member vote at an annual general meeting of the Association.
Each of their contributions has improved the body corporate. The Patrol thanks them for their camaraderie, leadership and achievements.

Patrons
The Patron of the Perisher Ski Patrol is an important member of the community who is able to provide links to our stakeholders and assist the patrol in communicating the alpine safety message. He or she is able to represent the patrols interests in communicating with the community at large, the government and corporate community. The patron forms an important part of the consultation process when changes are proposed within the patrol, particularly when they affect the community.

Presidents
The President is elected each year at the Annual General Meeting. As the head of the Executive Committee, the President sets the tone for the organisation and provides leadership and direction.
Senior leadership roles are an important part of the fabric of the patrol and the time and effort that is necessary to fulfil these roles successfully is significant. The individuals do not do the role without support from family and friends. They too are recognised as part of the member’s contribution.
