District & Association Updates May brings the ISI Worlds entry deadline (May 1), the


District 11 Competition May 15-17 at the Dr Pepper StarCenter-Farmers Branch, Texas and the ISI Conference & Trade Show in Danvers, Mass. Summer camps begin in June throughout the district, and


the second half of the year promises to be just as busy as the first half!


Association (NEISMA) by Jeffrey Rubin, President


North East Ice Skating Managers


Spring is in the air! We can now start look- ing forward to switching gears and getting into the springtime mode of our facilities. Now is the time to start making plans for those renovation projects, equipment repairs or that well-deserved vacation you have been too busy to take.


Spring is a very good time to invest in your staff and recon-


nect and learn from the past season. Take the time to listen to what they have to say as they are your front line in dealing with your customers. Whether they are new or seasoned staff,


listen and learn. Sometimes the little things get overlooked by seasoned employees. It is always good to have your business looked at with fresh eyes. With that being said, NEISMA is looking forward to having


the ISI Conference & Trade Show coming to New England this year. Just north of Boston is an ideal location for hosting. It is close to the beaches as well as the great city of Boston! With lots of activities planned, it is going to be an exciting time. NEISMA is also looking forward to our annual Spring


Conference, scheduled for Cape Cod, Mass. in late April. Once again, this promises to be an exciting show with plenty of social activities. As the winter is ending, NEISMA is con- tinuing to put the final touches on the Spring Conference and has all the registration information listed on neisma.com for your convenience. Once again, I ask that if you haven’t been to an ISI or


NEISMA conference recently, please plan on attending one or both of them. Not only will you be making an investment in your professional education, but you can also connect with those attendees you haven’t seen in awhile. And who knows, you might actually learn a thing or two! Come and see and enjoy what New England has to offer!
