District & Association Reports

ISI District 1 (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New

Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont) by Alane Swiderski, District Director

Greetings from District 1! By the time this is published, the competitive season will be coming to a close in District 1.

2016

competitions, all in Massachusetts, inclu- ded: Te Tropical Escape, Feb. 7, Salem; Bay State Games, Feb. 12-14, Williamstown; Skate for the Love of it!, Feb. 20, Brockton;

Natick Competition, March 5-6, Natick; Lower Cape Competition, April 2-3, Orleans; Nashoba Competition, April 23, Boxborough; Te Spring Sparkle, May 8, Bridgewater; and Sharper Edge Competition, May 20-22, Concord. Tank you to all of the competition directors who gave our

skaters opportunities to perform this season! Our final competition of the season is District 1

Championships scheduled June 23-26 in Natick, Mass., and hosted by veteran competition director, Donna Rozon. Information and entry forms are available on the District 1 website. Many volunteers and judges are needed and coaches who wish to put skaters on the ice can do either to get their

credential. Tank you Donna, the William L Chase arena staff and all of the volunteers and judges who pitch in to make this competition great! It is with great sorrow that District 1 acknowledges the loss

of a great leader, mentor and supporter, Katy Hayden. Katy’s extensive professional achievements and acknowledgments are being noted in several forums. Here in District 1, many of us knew Katy on a different level and experienced firsthand why our industry is a better one because she was part of it. It goes without saying that we will miss her greatly. I hope that all who knew her take comfort in knowing that her legend carries on in all of us and in the skating we see every day. We’re still developing an appropriate way to honor Katy.

For those who follow in her footsteps, now is the time to nominate coaches, instructors and directors for District 1 Professional awards. Nominations are due by July 1 and awards will be presented at the fall seminar. New District 1 credentials will be issued for the 2016/17

competitive season. Information will be released during the District 1 Championships if not before. Preparations are underway for the 2016/17 seminar and educational opportunities. For more information on “any and all things ISI District 1,” please visit isidistrict1.com.
