Subject: SkillsUSA Week and Career and Technical Education MonthHappy SkillsUSA Week (February 7 – 13) and happy Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month. I hope you and your students are conducting activities this week to help people in your community know about the value of CTE.

Of course, SkillsUSA Week activities are a great way to highlight the important work of your instructional program as well as the work of your chapter. For SkillsUSA Week ideas, see the Chapter Management section on the SkillsUSA Web site. SkillsUSA offers downloadable public service announcements at http://www.skillsusa.org/educators/skillsusaweek.shtml ACTE also offers excellent resources related to Career and Technical Education Month, which is celebrated the entire month of February. Go to http://www.acteonline.org for more information.

If you want to highlight your SkillsUSA membership during public events, remember the SkillsUSA Store is online with gifts and clothing for your use. Please go to http://www.skillsusastore.org

And, as part of our celebration of SkillsUSA Week, on February 10th at 3:00 p.m., SkillsUSA will be holding a teacher event at the SkillsUSA National Leadership Center for area schools. On February 11th, SkillsUSA will be holding a Web conference for everyone. Both the event and the Web conference will be held to announce the release of the new ASK: Advisor’s Success Kit and the newly updated PDP Online. Attendees at the teacher meeting at the National Leadership Center and those who register in advance for the Web conference will receive a free copy of the new ASK: Advisor’s Success Kit and other SkillsUSA materials (total value of $50 or more). I will give a SkillsUSA organization update, and members of the SkillsUSA training team will also update teachers on various SkillsUSA resources.

All instructors are welcome to attend the teacher meeting and/or participate in the Web conference. To attend the teacher meeting, please RSVP to Niki Clausen at nclausen@skillsusa.org To participate in the Web conference, go to the following link on February 11 at 11:30 a.m. EST: http://web.ganconference.com/?meeting=3663486 To dial in for audio, call 888-222-0475, Attendee Code: 6837807.

That’s it for now. Once again, happy SkillsUSA Week. We’re here because of you. Thanks for all you do for the great students we serve.

UPCOMING DATES:

Please note the following additions to the new SkillsUSA online shopping portal:

· On Sept. 18, all chapter supplies and competition uniforms will be available to purchase. They are finalizing an inventory transfer from our previous supplier, so these items will be available as soon as possible.

· This October marks the much-anticipated arrival of our redesigned SkillsUSA official blazer. The blazer will be offered in expanded size ranges (from women’s size 0 to men’s 66L) with many custom details — a personalized patch inside, specially designed buttons, a lighter/easy-wear fabric — and a $99.99 price tag!

· Also coming later this fall: a new made-to-order online store for products that can be personalized to your school or state.
