Looking Ahead:
The Educational Events funding processes should be aligned into a single RFP and reviewed in the fall
as part of the overall CSE funding allocations for the following year.
o The Educational Events deadline will be the same as the CSE event funding requests.
Educational Events funds will be designated as part of the CSE’s budget by the Town Council as part of
the annual TOV budget approval process.
The organizations offering these types of experiences would benefit from the development of an
“umbrella” organization that could coordinate the efforts of multiple smaller entities by providing
coordinated management and marketing, as well managing/leveraging the funding to the fullest
potential. Reality, full achievement is limited by the level of funding currently available and will ultimately
require a facility that is able to support the types of experiences that are envisioned and required to
attract world class participation.
The Town of Vail should have a venue to provide consistent, quality experiences for events. CSE
recommends public/private partnership to explore location, size, amenities, etc.
The CSE makes these recommendations in order to keep Vail in a leadership position and to continue
to stay ahead of the competition as the premier international mountain resort community.
