Maria has been a member of the DSC board since 2020. Her children began skating in the Learn to Skate program at DSC in 2005 and have participated in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hockey programs, competitive figure skating, synchronized skating and the Detroit Skating Club’s annual ice show.

Maria has served on the Communications committee providing input on the creation of our new website. She has also volunteered on the Fundraising and Facilities committees. As a co-chair of the membership committee, Maria worked with the Figure Skating Director to create a more streamlined membership structure.

She also serves in a volunteer capacity on the Michigan Amateur Hockey Association district 4 council as a director and treasurer, the MAHA girls’ committee and on the Executive Committee for Adat Shalom Synagogue.

DSC has been a part of Holly's life since she and her two sisters were enrolled in its LTS program in the late 1980s. From Basic 1 through to her Senior Freeskate, DSC served as her “home away from home.” As a youth, the club provided a safe and inclusive community within which she was able to participate in a sport she loves. Likewise, Holly is fortunate to have had the opportunity to train with many of the world’s best over her long career on the ice. Through this opportunity, she was able to elevate many aspects of her experience, sharpening both physical skill and mindset.

Holly has four decades of experience in skating—as an athlete (including as a five-year member of Team USA in synchronized skating), trial judge, USFS committee member (Collegiate Program Committee, Athletes Advisory Committee, and Synchronized Skating Competitions Subcommittee), volunteer, and most importantly, a parent to two with diverse pursuits on the ice. Additionally, she previously served on the board of the Miami University Skating Club as secretary while studying Business Administration and Spanish. She was also selected as one of the Miami University’s two delegate representatives at USFS’ annual Governing Council meeting. While at Miami, Holly was a four-year member and two-year captain of the University’s Senior Varsity Synchronized Skating Team and helped the school to earn its first national title in the senior division and multiple international medals. In her final year at Miami University, she received the Thomas J. Fischer Outstanding Skating Award. While figure skating serves as Holly’s primary passion, she recognizes that there are many opportunities for athletes of all ages and abilities to participate in ice sports.

As an adult, DSC has continued to be a major fixture in Holly's life through both sport and volunteerism. Both of her children participate in ice sports at DSC (figure skating and hockey), and more recently she's re-laced up her own skates in pursuit of completing as many ice dance tests as she is able on the standard test track. Holly currently serves as the Chair of the Backstage Committee for DSC’s annual ice show and regularly volunteers at Skate Detroit, helping to support officials’ hospitality. She was also recently designated as a Co-Chair of the club’s Competitions Committee, a team that helped Skate Detroit to be designated an NQS series event for singles, pairs, and dance in Summer 2025.

Professionally, Holly has worked in the legal industry for more than two decades in business development and project management. She currently manages a team consisting of diverse professionals by way of background and experience, which has contributed to the development of both the hard and soft skills necessary to ensure sound leadership. These include, but are not limited to, strategic planning, writing and communication, and budget management. Given her professional role sits within the legal industry, Holly has a deep appreciation for governance and compliance.

Holly’s collaborative spirit enables her to engage in productive teamwork, open communication, and strong relationships. She recognizes that every participant in ice sports has goals that are deeply personal and meaningful, and she is hopeful to help influence a positive experience for all who participate and support DSC athletes, coaches, staff, and other stakeholders—all the while in the pursuit of excellence in a respectful and nurturing environment. Holly brings deep experience in leadership and business that will help DSC pursue its mission and vision, grounded in resilience, shared greatness, and undeniable growth.

Holly lives in Birmingham with her husband, two children, and goldendoodle, Hermione (the smartest witch in her class). In addition to her degree from Miami University, Holly holds a certificate in Sports Management from Loyola University Chicago.

Kati Becker is a Registered Nurse currently serving as the school nurse at St. Hugo of the Hills Catholic School. With a strong organizational skill set and keen attention to detail, Kati excels in her role, demonstrating a deep commitment to the well-being of the children under her care.

Kati has been married to her husband, Tim, for 22 years, and they reside in West Bloomfield. Their daughter, Claire, now 20, began her skating journey at the age of five in the Learn to Skate program and later discovered her passion for Synchronized Skating. She skated individually before joining synchronized skating teams at the Detroit Skating Club (DSC) and the Ann Arbor Figure Skating Club (AAFSC). During Claire's skating career, Kati actively contributed as a team manager for the synchronized skating teams at both DSC and Ann Arbor FSC. The Becker family has been dedicated members of the Detroit Skating Club for over 15 years, becoming resident members in 2017.

Despite her daughter's graduation, Kati remains an active member of DSC. She currently chairs the Ushers/Security committee for the annual ice show and oversees the Runners and Ice Monitors for Skate Detroit. Kati has served on the DSC Board for two terms (six years), holding the position of Secretary during both terms. Additionally, she has been involved in various volunteer roles, including managing the Evolution Synchronized Skating team for six years, assisting with competition forms and dresses, and co-chairing the Monitors/Runners Committee for the 2019 U.S. National Figure Skating Championships.

Kati is passionate about the positive changes the board has implemented in recent years. She seeks to continue her service on the board for an additional term to further contribute to the growth and improvement of the Detroit Skating Club, ensuring continuity in leadership while welcoming new members. Her extensive volunteer experience across different aspects of the club has provided her with unique insights and perspectives that she believes will be valuable in her role as a board member. Kati is deeply appreciative of the opportunities that DSC has provided to her daughter and family, and she is committed to maintaining a positive and productive atmosphere for all athletes, parents, and coaches.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our skating community, we’ve been able to make meaningful improvements to the place we all love. With your support in our 2024 campaign, we raised over $18,000, which allowed us to replace one of our four compressors — an essential upgrade that helps keep our ice rink running smoothly.

In our 2022–2023 campaign, through your kindness, we raised a remarkable $78,000, and we’re thrilled to share that we have just ordered a brand-new Zamboni! Yay!

As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue making necessary improvements so we can provide great ice conditions and a welcoming facility for everyone. This year, our goals include:

·Completing additional facility improvements

·Continuing to save toward a new roof for our A and B rinks

Together, we can make these next improvements possible and further strengthen the community we share at DSC.

As the year comes to a close, we humbly ask that you consider joining us again in our newest fundraising campaign - Go For the Gold. We're offering three levels in this campaign:

-Gold Medal - $1000; includes 2 gold seats to the Spring Ice Show & 2 tickets to the Spring Banquet

-Silver Medal - $500; includes 2 bleacher seats to the Spring Ice Show & 2 tickets to the Spring Banquet

-Bronze Medal - $250; includes 2 bleacher seats to the Spring Ice Show

All levels will receive recognition in the club newsletter. Any gift — small or large — helps us get closer to our goals.

If you're able to give click the link below. Thank you for your consideration. When we work together, we accomplish amazing things!

In Spring 2022 we started the Project Zamboni Fundraiser to help us raise money to purchase a new zamboni. We are currently at $50,000 - almost halfway to our new goal of $110,000*

*This goal was adjusted from our original goal due to the purchase of another zamboni from an area rink which saved us $40,000.

In 1910, Detroit skaters enjoyed gliding across the frozen lakes and rivers surrounding Belle Isle as well as at a small artificial rink at the General Necessities Corporation downtown.  As a group of local skaters grew more dedicated, and the sport’s popularity grew across the nation, it was apparent that a more modern rink was warranted.

As a result, David Brown established the first modern ice rink in the Detroit area and quickly thereafter Gladys Salsinger organized a figure skating club. However, once World War I broke out, the arena was closed by government orders.

After the War was over, some local enterprising young men built the “Olympia Stadium” and Mrs. Salsinger, formed the new “Olympia Skating Club.”

The Olympia Skating Club held carnivals, featuring the outstanding amateur skaters of the time, including Sonja Henie, Pierre and Andrea Brunet, and Papez and Swack. But due to their fast decreasing ice time, the group was forced, once again, to reorganize.

In 1946, the members purchased a facility, previously used to house the horses of automotive magnate Charles T. Fisher, and call it home. In 1949 the club changed its name to “The Detroit Skating Club, Inc.”

As the club grew in size and stature, many Olympic and World Champions trained there. The expanding world of figure skating demanded a larger facility, and in 1978, the club took the opportunity to move to its present location in Bloomfield Hills. With the completion of an Olympic size rink 1994, the facility boasts three ice surfaces as well as off-ice training and locker rooms.

The Detroit Skating Club is one of only a handful of clubs in the United States that continues to own and operate its own facility.

Throughout the years, many National and Olympic-level skaters trained at DSC.  Included in this list are Virginia 'Ginny' Baxter in the 50s, Gary Visconti and Tim Wood in the 60s, along with Doug Ramsey, who perished in the 1961 U.S. World Team plane crash; Melissa Militano and Johnny Johns (Pairs) and Johns and Mary Karen Campbell (Dance) in the 70s; 90s members Todd Eldredge, Nicole Bobek, Team Elan, Tara Lipinski, Danielle and Steve Hartsell (Pairs), Elizabeth Punsalan and Jerod Swallow (Dance); Jessica Joseph and Charles Butler (Dance), Jamie Silverstein and Justin Pekarek (Dance), Naomi Lang and Peter Tchernyshev (Dance); 2000s included Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto (Dance), Naomi Lang and Peter Tchernyshev (Dance), Alissa Czisny, Jeremy Abbott, Meryl Davis and Charlie White (Dance), Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker (Dance), Patrick Chan (Canada), Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje (Canada, Dance), Alexandra Paul and Mitch Islam (Canada, Dance), Valentina Marchei (Italy), Danielle O'Brien and Gregory Merriman (Australia, Dance), Nathalie Péchalat and Fabian Bourzat (France, Dance), Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohu (Dance), Elladj Balde (Canada).

As proud as we are of our history, we know the best is yet to come.
