I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Ozzie Sawicki in a variety of roles and contexts including academia, as a volunteer, and professionally. Ozzie is humble, curious, creative and brings a fresh perspective to current issues and opportunities. Ozzie is also thoughtful in his decisions and deliberations.

I had the privilege of working with Ozzie on many different projects, but the biggest was when he was the Chef de Mission for Team Canada at the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games. Ozzie's leadership and great communication style made a difficult project run much more smoothly. His easy demeanor and commitment to the team both provided a model for the entire staff to follow, focusing on finding the best solution in some very challenging situations. At the end of the Games, Canada had achieved its goal of a top 3 gold medal standing, due in large part to exceptional leadership from Ozzie.

This is to recognize Ozzie Sawicki for the hard work, collaborative nature, vision and values alignment, and the servant leadership provided by Ozzie to Canada Snowboard and specifically to the growth and dedication to Para Snowboard and Adaptive Snowboarding in general. Ozzie has been a supportive and giving leader to our organization for over a decade and ensuring the lives of snowboarders living and competing with a disability could have equal access and a fair field of play to compete on. Ozzie was an instrumental leader in supporting Canada Snowboard and our athletes in our aligned approach with others around the world to see Para Snowboarding enter the 2014 Paralympic Games. Thank you Ozzie for your dedicated leadership and we have greatly appreciated collaborating with you every step of the way.
