The Full Story
The Global Association of Professional Boot fitters has been in the minds of a few people for a good while and has finally come from the drawing board into reality, we hope that there will be an evolution of this over future years, but we have to start at the beginning. The association has been formed to have a number of roles
-
Boot fitting has for many years been thought of as a seasonal job for transient workers rather than as a profession, as an association we want to promote the fact that ski boot fitting can be a well paid year round profession and not just an unskilled position in retail.
-
In any industry knowledge is power though building connections between boot fitters and the suppliers we aim to share that knowledge utilizing industry professionals offering their expertise in presentations either on line or in the future in person.
-
Paying it forward, one of our long term aims is to offer training grants to allow fitters coming full time into the industry to attend trainings courses from recognized providers either free of charge or at subsidized cost, with moneys raised by the association being used for this and other ways of promoting the industry and boot fitting as a whole.
The association is set up as a not for profit organization, as such, after costs have been covered, any residual funds will be reinvested into the promotion of boot fitting and boot fitters.
Who Are We
As an association we are very much focused on working together , the current board of trustees of the association is below, we are always seeking people with an open mind who would like to help promote the profession of boot fitting and help us move our industry forward.
