An interesting discussion was led by Bob Dunlop and Pam Crowley on some of the strategies to employ to improve your bid package for various USFS qualifying competitions. They focused particularly on how to better utilize resources on the USFS website and personnel at Headquarters, before a bid is submitted. Bob confirmed that the 2013 US Nationals will be held in Omaha, Nebraska.
We also got the hear the thoughts of Tiffany King (who's recently been a very successful LOC from Salt Lake FS). She helped remind us of a lot of great reasons to host events beyond making the club some money - especially to strengthen relationships within your club as well as between your club and the rink management and the greater community. She also shared some creative ideas about how to make your event a special and memorable one for all the skaters in attendance (while still saving money and involving the local community). I hope we'll be able to use some of her advice when we host events in the future.
