Welcome to new AVSC Board President Beth Hoff Blackmer
August 1, 2025
The first day of August is a day of transitions for AVSC. Not only are we welcoming a new fiscal year and the start of a new year of TEAM programming for athletes but also it’s time for board member transitions. A huge thank you to outgoing AVSC Board President Ryan Smalls, who gave his heart and soul to the organization from 2019 to 2025. Ryan will now be stepping into the illustrious ranks of past presidents.
We extend the warmest of official welcomes to our new AVSC Board President and Interim Executive Director, Beth Hoff Blackmer. Beth is a lifetime resident of the Roaring Fork Valley.

After graduating from CU Boulder, she moved to the Pacific Northwest and worked in the international trade and active sport industries for 10 years. She returned to the Roaring Fork Valley in 1995 and continued in the active sports industry until 1999.

After a successful 25 years with Aspen Rent-All, Beth recently sold the business to her former manager.
