From Vanessa Selby:

Could you please shout out to your athletes a reminder for the Silver Run summer camp? In order to determine coaching staff needs, I would like to have an idea of who is planning to attend by the end of this week. This camp is super affordable, and details are on our website:  http://www.silverrunski.com/.

Over the past year, a team from management consultant McKinsey & Co. (working for free) interviewed athletes, coaches, parents, and USSA divisional, regional, and national employees.  Their objective was to get a better handle on key points of organizational friction.  Download McKinsey's preliminary findings here.

Be forewarned: there a lot of PowerPoint slides here.  Nevertheless, it's worth flipping through.
