Central Division Women's Clinic
2023-01-28 - 2023-01-29
2023 Women’s Clinic
Hello Ladies of the Central Division!
The mission of the Central Division Women’s Program is:

To share passion with the purpose of encouraging and supporting other NSP women in a nurturing environment.

To build participants’ confidence to accept the challenges of leadership roles and improve their personal skill set.

To encourage active recruiting of women in the NSP.

As a result of a women’s focused program there is a conscious effort to see more women step up into instructor roles, mentoring roles, and leadership roles. The building of confidence, expansion of horizons, and mentoring in leadership provides a strong role model of women in the NSP. The women of the Central Division carry on the mission of the Women’s Program, develop more leaders and promote recruitment of new women members in the NSP.
Our annual Women’s Clinic will be held at:
Cascade Ski Resort in Wisconsin
January 27-29

Your coaches for the weekend are there for you! This is what makes this clinic so unique – the staff (your coaches) have an agenda to help you move to your next level. We want to help you get out of your comfort zone in a nurturing and encouraging environment.
Of course, FUN is a big part of our objective! Just getting 40 or so ladies together, sliding on the snow, enjoying the friendships and networking. That is what the weekend is all about, plus the great coaching from our highly qualified PSIA Certified Ski Instructors and NSP Toboggan Certified Instructors.
The rotation of the annual Women’s Clinic is designed to move the clinic around the Central Division. You can also find out more program information on the Central division website Women’s Program
