Kathy Morgan, special projects coordinator, will be leaving USSA{mosimage}Kathy Morgan, special projects coordinator in the events department at the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association headquarters in Park City, Utah, is leaving the organization for a job with VIP Incentives, a corporate-event-planning business, also in Park City.

Jeff Volmrich, a former member of the U.S. Ski Team’s jumping squad, owns and operates VIP Incentives with his wife Fiona.

Morgan was known for successfully organizing projects such as the USSA SuperSeries, a set of races that’s also part of the NorAm circuit, and the USA Houses — meeting places for American fans and athletes at world-class events.

‘The five and half years I’ve spent with the ski team have been truly amazing’ said Morgan. ‘I’ve seen athletes go from obscurity to stardom and it’s been the best part of the job … being involved in their rise to greatness. Some of the best memories I will carry with me are from St. Anton [Austria, site of the 2001 alpine worlds], where Daron [Rahlves] won the super G and the USA House went off the hook, and St. Moritz [Switzerland, host of the 2003 worlds], where our entire team kicked ass and put the U.S. on the map forever.’

Morgan’s last day in the ski team offices is this Friday. ‘So thank you to everyone that’s been a part of my life at the ski team,” she said. “You won’t be forgotten and I hope to see everyone soon.’
