The goal of the Shaw Graham Coaches’ Excellence Initiative is to augment our coaches’ certification curriculum and develop a delivery mechanism that is accessible and user-friendly. U.S. Ski & Snowboard hopes to achieve universal coaches’ certification with a long-term strategy in place for club development, and regional delivery through the club system. 

U.S. coaches in the ski and snowboard disciplines will have the opportunity to achieve a new level of comprehension and broaden their knowledge base while benefitting from a collaborative and continuous learning environment.

Named in honor of Tiger Shaw, former Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Ski & Snowboard, and Donald C. Graham, a longtime U.S. Ski & Snowboard supporter and elite coaching advocate, this program would not be functional without the generous support of our principal giving donors.   

U.S Ski & Snowboard wishes to thank the following supporters whose vision and generosity have made the implementation of the Shaw Graham Coaches’ Excellence Initiative possible:

• Ken Graham
• Graham family
• Anne Kubik
• Tom McInerney
• Andy & Linda McLane
