SYNCHRONIZED SKATING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AUCTION
Three lucky attendees of the 2017 ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado, walked away with unique U.S. Figure Skating memorabilia. A silent auction held by U.S. Figure Skating, and benefitting the Memorial Fund, featured signed items by Olympic champions Sarah Hughes, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, and the 25- time U.S. champion Haydenettes. One of the lucky winners, Lou Tomich of New Jersey, won the signed poster (pictured) of the Haydenettes. Lou’s granddaughter, Ashley Tomich, competes for the Haydenettes and he plans to present it to her as a gift. Be sure to check out U.S. Figure Skating’s silent auctions at Skate America in Lake Placid, New York, and the 2018 Prudential U.S. Championships in San Jose, California.

DOUG WILLIAMS V. U.S. FIGURE SKATING A Grievance Statement was filed by
Doug Williams on January 2, 2017, against U.S. Figure Skating. The Grievance Statement appealed a Resolution of the Board of Directors of U.S. Figure Skating providing for a reprimand and suspension of Mr. Williams from his duties as an Official of U.S. Figure Skating. Prior to the filing of the Grievance Statement, the Chair of the Ethics Committee submitted a Complaint on October 14, 2016, against Mr. Doug Williams to the Chair of the Judges’ Committee and the Chair of the Technical Panel Committee, alleging a violation of the Code of Ethics, Code of Conduct and Judges’ Creed, specifically GR 1.01(A), 1.02(A), 1.01(B), 1.02(F), JR 1.06, TPCR 4.01(J), and Policy on Harassment and Abuse. A Combined Subcommittee was constituted and issued its Recommendation to the Board of Directors
for a reprimand of Mr. Williams. The Board of Directors of U.S. Figure Skating accepted the Combined Subcommittee’s Recommendation and further, provided for a suspension of Mr. Williams.
An Expedited Hearing Panel was appoint- ed by the Chair of the Grievance Committee and an Expedited Hearing took place on Jan- uary 11, 2017. The Expedited Hearing Panel found the actions of Mr. Williams to be in viola- tion of the U.S. Figure Skating SafeSport Hand- book, JR 12.01(C), and TPCR 7.01(C). Mr. Doug Williams was suspended as an Official of U.S. Figure Skating from December 16, 2016 through January 31, 2017, with termination of the suspension contingent upon completion of a Tutorial. The Tutorial having been completed, the suspension is lifted effective January 31, 2017. This determination is now final.
