The Jordan- Reily Award recognizes a one or two year activity and achievement in ski related Public Affairs programs - area development, skier safety, liability protections, governmental affairs, taxation, and transportation.

This Award is named posthumously for two pioneers in the Association's Public Affairs program. Bob Jordan became FWSA's first paid Director of Public Affairs in 1975. John Reily was a founder of Alpine Meadows and a strong advocate for integrating environmental, financial, and skier demand into area development plans
