Club Education

The next Club Education Seminar will be posted here when more information is available.

Whether your club has been around for years or it's just been formed, you're in for some interesting situations. Club members don't always click, rules are not always upheld, and the traditional management techniques don't always work. You'll learn groundbreaking ideas to deal with these issues by attending a U.S. Figure Skating Club Education Seminar.

• Governance
