Glad you asked! Here's a link containing some info from the Atlantic CCC women's coordinator about what people can do to recruit more women. http://groups.google.com/group/acc-collegiate-cycling/browse_thread/thread/c80f879b3f592175?hl=en&pli=1
She discusses Intro clinics - we're working out the details, but we are going to have intro clinics in the NCCCC this year, so hopefully that's something you can "sell" to a potential new teammate. We're also going to be "emphatically suggesting" that all the race directors offer a women's C field for both the crit and road race - so, they won't have to race the Men D's this year.
If you come up with other ideas I'd love to hear them, and if there's anything we can do on a conference level to help/support you recruit more women and promote women's cycling, please let me know!
