ISI DISTRICT 10
(IOWA, MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA, WISCONSIN) by Jane Schaber, District Director
It has been a busy season in District 10 with 10 competitions and 12 district test sessions. Participation continues to be strong and is growing, with more interest in ISI programs resulting with some new Administrative and Professional members. Thank you to all the competition directors that continue to work so hard on their events so that we have such
great opportunities to offer skaters in our area, which helps keep ISI membership and participation strong!
It was great having the annual ISI conference and trade show in our backyard. It brought in some new attendees from our area and showed them what ISI has to offer to their existing programs. It was also great to see so many of the districts’ arena managers and staff in attendance. It always helps to build stronger rink relationships when coaches, management and operations staff have the opportunity to meet one another and learn together, giving everyone involved in the rink industry a better grasp of the big picture and how to truly make the facilities successful!
