Race Marshal Olle Rosén has retired
Olle Rosén longtime IFSS Race Marshal has decided to step down and retire.
"I have now decided that it is time for me to end my commitment withing the sleddogsport. I started in 1975 and now I feel that it is enough. I have been working as a judge since 1997 and Race Marshal since 2002."
On the behalf of Council, I want to give a big thank you to Olle for all the years he has worked within IFSS. Over the years Olle also has been educating many new judges, something that I am very thankful for. Helen Lundberg IFSS President .jpg)

Linda Russell new Executive Director
I am very glad to announce that IFSS Council has appointed Linda Russell to the position as Executive Director starting out March 11, 2021.
Linda Russell is a relative newcomer to the field of sleddog sports. Her first introduction was during a vacation in 2013 where she helped out as a timekeeper during a local competition in Chile. Since then, she has continued to participate in numerous other competitions in a variety of capacities.
Linda was born and raised in Texas where she spent the majority of her life until she and her husband of 25 years decided to move to Chile to experience life as expats. She returned to the USA in 2020 and currently lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She works in the field of financial planning, speaks fluent Spanish and enjoys reading, hiking, photography and (of course) dogs.
Sincerely Helen Lundberg
IFSS President
