Our Mission

To represent and communicate the interests of athletes, review, react and advise in cooperative support of USA Skimo achieving its mission.


How Can We Champion Your Voice?

The Athlete Advisory Committee (AAC) wants to ensure that all skimo athletes are aware and are taking advantage of the USA Skimo-member benefits. One of the critical components of any organization is open and transparent communication between the governing body and the athletes. We would like you to know that we are here working hard to be your advisory, listening to all you have to say, answering questions and making sure your voice is heard.

Each member, whether new or seasoned, has a unique perspective. We value your opinion and hope you’ll share your thoughts and experiences with us.

New this year, we have assigned regional AAC representatives to make sure your region is being heard locally and nationally. Feel free to directly contact your regional representative or if you prefer, you can always contact the entire AAC group at aac@ussma.org.
