This membership program will provide you the opportunity to join US Sailing as a full member at a great rate, while supporting both your college team, and the Intercollegiate Sailing Association. Your team will accumulate credits with US Sailing and ICSA will receive direct support dollars from US Sailing for every member that joins through the College Pass. Membership in US Sailing will be great benefit (and in some cases a requirement) for your summer sailing plans. Furthermore, US Sailing is an official sponsor of the 2009 ICSA National Championship Semifinals this weekend. Specifically they are supporting the event dinner May 2. Please say hello and thank you to the US Sailing staff members that will be on-hand. Good luck to the teams racing this weekend! Mitch Brindley President, ICSA 757-287-1201 ***************************** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jake Fish, US SAILING Communications Manager [email protected] (401) 683-0800 US SAILING Offers College Sailors New Special Membership PORTSMOUTH, R.I. (April 30, 2009) - US SAILING, the national governing body of the sport, and the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) have partnered to develop a program that provides college sailors with an opportunity to become US SAILING members at a special discount rate. US SAILING's College Pass, a division of US SAILING's Golden Anchor Program, is a full membership designed to provide support for collegiate sailing in the United States. College sailors can become US SAILING members at a discounted price by signing up for this special membership through their respective sailing team. By becoming a member, teams accumulate credits that can be used towards the purchase of US SAILING educational materials in the US SAILING store. This new membership creates a sponsorship fund used to promote and encourage collegiate sailing programs in the U.S. In return, the ICSA has created the US SAILING Grit Award for Competitive Perseverance that recognizes the two teams who fulfill the final qualifying spots for the ICSA/Gill Dinghy National Championships. "US SAILING is proud to promote collegiate sailing," said Charlie Leighton, executive director of US SAILING. "Sailing at this level is an outstanding training ground for competitive sailing in the U.S." "We look forward to this long term relationship with US SAILING," said Mitch Brindley, president of the ICSA. "The funding this program provides is instrumental to the growth of collegiate sailing. This is a great way to get college sailors involved in their national governing body."
