Professional Skaters Association by Gerry Lane, PSA Representative to
ISI board of directors
On behalf of the Professional Skaters Association, we want to assure the ISI membership that we are committed to a strong working relationship with the ISI. For many years now, a statement of cooperation between the organizations
has been in place and today that commitment has never been stronger. We will continue to work on mutually beneficial programs to help grow ice skating sports and the industry as a whole.
I was first exposed to the ISI programs 35 years ago, and
I have administered the program for the past 24 years in our facilities. It works extremely well for us and has helped build the U.S. Figure Skating base in our arenas from 88 to about 478 USFS members in our resident skating clubs. We have offered figure events at our local ISI competitions
in recent years and two of the skaters who have participated in the events just finished first and second at the World Figure Championships in Toronto, Canada. Tey are Jill Ahlbrecht, who won the event, and Brooke Pitman, who finished second. Brooke’s sister Nancy Blackwell also participated and finished 6th at the World Figure Championships. Jill also won the event last year in Lake Placid. She grew up in our South Suburban program and now coaches at our facilities. She was the 2015 ISI District 12 Merit Award winner and is thankful for the opportunity that ISI brings to her to be able to continue her passion for skating and competing in school figures.
