Every year we recognize both, a Skater and a
​Coach who have contributed to the club

The "Jean-Luc Baker award for commitment to excellence" is the most prestigious award voted upon by our members. It is an award that is earned by a full member of Seattle Skating Club, only one time in their skating career. It is presented to a member of any skating level, who is an active competitor, a long-term member of our club and who has demonstrated commitment to figure skating. This member acts as a mentor to other skaters, acts as an ambassador for the club at all times, and through volunteerism, dedicates personal time to the advancement of Seattle Skating Club and to the figure skating community.
