The SSWSC Foundation welcomes four new Board Members to its Board of Directors. The SSWSC Foundation was established in 2000 to enhance and provide for the long-term sustainability of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. The SSWSC Foundation currently has 18 Board Members helping to shape the use of the assets, investments, and annual gains it seeks to build that are essential to enhance SSWSC programs and provide long-term sustainability to the club’s athletes, coaches, and staff.

Please join us in welcoming John Albro, Paul Slivan, Debbie Dacus, and Charlie MacArthur to the board as members of the Development Committee. 

John Albro is the Founder and CEO of Penn Square Real Estate Group and Penn Square Advisory Group, LLC.  He has 33 years of institutional and retail distribution and investment experience with leading asset managers. Albro states, “I am delighted to be serving as a director of the SSWSC Foundation.  It’s the kids that inspire you and make you want to be a champion for their efforts today and the next 100 years.  The purity of their spirit reminds us how fortunate we are to reside here but also why it’s vital to be able to sustain and grow the Club for future generations.”

Paul Slivon is a Senior Managing Director at TWP Private Wealth Management, the Private Wealth Division of Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Inc., a full-service investment advisory, bank and wealth management firm.  “The SSWSC athletes and coaches are terrific!” Slivon explains.  “The training programs are wonderful and provide the athletes with direction and skills they need as they mature into adulthoods.  I also enjoy the events the SSWSC Foundation puts on; they are unique and unlike others in Steamboat.”
Debbie Dacus has served on the Catamount Ranch and Club Advisory Board of Governs for a number of years and is the former chair of the Social Committee.  Along with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, Debbie also supports Born Free Wildlife Rehabilitation, Boys and Girls Club, Strings Music Festival, and Young Life. Dacus believes that, “Young athletes who participate in the SSWSC training programs are provided a healthy environment to learn and grow.  With coach mentoring, the athletes are engaged in their personal performance and focus on their individual goals.  Athletes have a purpose and with that comes discipline, motivation and confidence.  These are skills that they will take them into college and beyond.”

Charlie MacArthur has been the President of Native Excavating since 2018.  As a Steamboat native, MacArthur has built solid relationships and connections within our community.  For seven years, MacArthur was a Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club athlete and was also a coach for two years of the Freeskiing team. MacArthur says, “I credit the SSWSC for providing me with many of the life skills I rely on today.  The SSWSC shaped who I am and provided the confidence for me to tackle bigger challenges beyond the world of snow sports.”
