SkillsUSA Advisors,

It’s Monday morning reminder time!!

Tomorrow (Tuesday the 9th) at 3:30 PM the State Conference Registration Site will close.

Tomorrow evening the Board of Advisors and I will meet to look at the Contest numbers and make decisions on which events have sufficient enrollment and which may not have enough to “go”. There may be some opportunities to adjust enrollments after this process, depending on the wishes of the Tech Chair. Thank you so much for completing your Registration, it makes my job so much less time consuming—you are all very appreciated,

Just a few reminders, because I just know you need more to think about;

1. The SkillsUSA Membership deadline is coming quickly.  You must have your membership roster in to Nationals and paid for by March 1, 2010 if your students are to compete and especially if they go on to compete [...]]]> SkillsUSA Advisors,

Just a few reminders, because I just know you need more to think about;

1. The SkillsUSA Membership deadline is coming quickly.  You must have your membership roster in to Nationals and paid for by March 1, 2010 if your students are to compete and especially if they go on to compete at the National contest.  Please don’t wait until the last day—you need to log-in to the website, so get started early and then add as needed later in the month.

2. The State Officer experience is a great opportunity for your student leaders—the deadline for applications into the State Office is March 9^th and the Candidate Interview Day is Saturday March 13^th in Salem.  It takes some sacrifice on your part and the parent’s part, but the rewards for the student are great.

3. The members of your Board of Advisors are working extra hard this year to pull together the Spring Conference—if you can offer help to them please contact Bill Cooper the Chairman at bcooper@pps.k12.or.us.
