Inclusiveness Policy

The CBIC Board of Directors recently had a strategic planning retreat, and one of the things we discussed was how important we feel the “Peace in the Parks” policy has been to our philosophy and programming. Further, the Board decided to make the values implied by “Peace in the Parks” more explicit. At our BOD meeting Oct. 8, we voted unanimously to pass the following inclusiveness policy:

“Chester Bowl Improvement Club (CBIC) is deeply committed to providing a diverse, inclusive and respectful environment in the park and in our programs. CBIC is committed to preventing bullying and harassment in our community and
expect all program participants to sign our Peace in the Parks pledge. For both employment and access to programs and activities, the CBIC will not engage in discrimination against any person because of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, disability, or sexual orientation including gender identity.”

CBIC Board News

At the December meeting of the Chester Bowl Improvement Club’s Board of Directors, Michael Cameron was appointed Director to fill an interim vacancy on the Board through April 2012.  Michael is general manager of Mont du Lac Recreation and comes with a tremendous amount of ski hill experience.  While not a traditional member of the Chester Bowl community, he has been a strong supporter of our ski program.  Mont du Lac Recreation provides a complimentary one-day ski pass for everyone with a Chester Bowl season pass, and they also generously provided a number of items for our Silent Auction in the fall.

The January CBIC Board meeting, which is open to the public, will be held in the chalet on Monday, January 3rd at 6.30pm.  Anyone sharing our interest in developing sustainable quality programs at Chester Bowl should consider attending.
