Membership renewal and changes

To view this email as a web page click here.

Dear Members,
The new skating season is upon us and memberships are coming up for renewal.  For those of you who purchased a full year membership, it will expire on June 30, 2011. You are able to start renewing your membership today.  There are a few changes that you will see when you log in to renew your membership. The membership categories have been revised and simplified. All the prices remain the same.

The new membership categories are as follows:

 

1st Year - $30

(Any first time member-competing or not)
Adult/Older Child - $75
 (Age 11 and up as of July 1, 2011)
Child - $55
 (Age 10 and under as of July 1, 2011)
Certified Official, Coach or Board Member - $30
 (Certified Level 2 and above and Individual Club Board Members - Max of 4 board members per club)
National Marathon Racing License - $15
 (Good for four (4) consecutive days)
Introductory First-Time Two-Month Trial - $10
 (Non-competing skaters new to speedskating. This membership is not valid for racing or competitions)
There is no longer a distinction between competing and non-competing members. You will now choose the membership category that fits your needs.  If you are a Level 2 coach but also compete, you may purchase the certified official, coach or board member membership.
The Certified Official, Coach or Board member is expanded from last year.  If you are a certified Level 2 or above coach you will automatically have the option to purchase that membership for $30.  If you are not a certified level 2 and above coach, the option will not be available to you.  The same holds true for officials.  I have enlisted the help of Hans Hoefgen to update the official’s list but unfortunately, there are a large number of associations and clubs who have not responded to Hans so the list of Level 2 officials is incomplete until he hears back from those associations and direct clubs.
Board members of individual clubs have the opportunity to also purchase the $30 membership but I need to know ahead of time who those board members are. I have a partial list of board members that I was supplied last year and will be updating the database with those names.
The one day one dollar membership is still available for those wanting to try the sport for the first time. The forms are available online in the document/forms section of the website. This temporary membership is available for a 5-time use and is not valid for competitions or races.
The one-day racing license is a new addition to this season. This can be used for non-championship events such as local club events.  The cost is $10 per day and can be used an unlimited amount of times.  The application form is located on our website under the document/forms section. Full details are located on the form.
The Speedskater Nation Fan club is not a USS membership; it is a fan club for fans of the sport. All members actively participating in the sport should purchase one of the appropriate membership categories.
To renew your membership, please use the online link at
https://webpoint.usspeedskating.org/wp15/Intralock/Login.asp?targetPath=/wp/Memberships/Join.asp to do so.
If you have forgotten your user name and password there is an area to obtain that information on this page.
