Northfield Skating School

What an eventful week it has been for the Northfield Skating School! In addition to attending the US Figure Skating Nationals at the Xcel Energy Center, volunteering at the St. Paul Winterskate, and of course holding lessons at the Northfield Arena, yet another honor came our way straight from our friends at US Figure Skating Headquarters.

Jill Hare, Basic Skills Program Director, and Susi Wehrli, Senior Membership Director, both of whom work at US Figure Skating Headquarters, were so impressed with the NSS website that they invited Carey Tinkelenberg, NSS Founder/Director, and Gene Uenishi, Webmaster/Skating Instructor to give a presentation at the first annual National Director’s Conference! The presentation will be entitled, “Using Technology to Enhance Your Program” and will take place in Scottsdale, AZ, on April 6th, 2008.

We are thrilled to have the opportunity not only to attend this conference, the first of its kind, but also to give a presentation to other leaders in our industry. We’ve worked hard this year to improve many aspects of our program and we are extremely honored to have caught the attention of the national headquarters. We look forward to April!
