Welcome back to another school and SkillsUSA year.  I hope the start to your year has been a good and productive one.

SkillsUSA Oregon has experience many changes this summer.  The Student Leadership Development Center, and my office, has moved back across the street at the WESD Marion Center main building.  (Our address and phone number are the same.)  The Coordinator Position has been cut to .5FTE due to Budget Cuts.  On the positive side, the new State Officer Team, Board of Advisors and new Board of Directors are excited about this year and Connecting the SkillsUSA Opportunities.

Attached you will find the Fall Mailer, including the POW Calendar, and Fall Conference Information and Registration Forms. This year’s Oregon Theme is Champion’s at Work: Time for Service.  The State Officers have decided to include a Community Service Canned Food Drive with the Fall Conference Experience.  Please collect canned food and bring it to Fall Conference.  The Chapter with the most food turned in at registration will get a prize!

I look forward to working with you through the coming year.  Please let me know how I can help you with Chapter Activities, Advisor Trainings or any other SkillsUSA Happenings.  My time is limited due to the cut, but I will do my best to insure that the SkillsUSA Oregon Tradition continues strong and major events still occur.

Don’t forget to look at the SkillsUSA Oregon Website (www.oregonskillsusa.com) and the National Website (www.skillsusa.org) for Information – they are great resources.

Please contact me with question and I look forward to seeing you at events throughout the year.

Niki Clausen, State Director 2009
