Dear SkillsUSA Advisor: Welcome to a new school year! There are new things coming this year! There will be a new official red jacket that is light weight for your students. All other previous official jackets are still allowed including the black Carhart. Make sure to watch for changes in your technical standards – there are quite a few this year! SkillsUSA Washington received an award for 19 new chapters in Washington. We also received a State Standards of Excellence for our general administrative practices. If you’d like to help out this year I’d love some help with the following: • Running our store at the state leadership conference and it’s definitely okay to involve your students • Mentoring a new advisor in your region or teaching area • New State officer trainer needed • Organize workshops at the state leadership conference – I have several ideas and these offerings can help our clock hour offerings • Coordinate the state community service project with our state officer team • Transportation Coordinator for the state leadership conference • Develop a list of fun and affordable activities for students and advisors while they are in Yakima for SLSC • Design our SLSC program (not including the cover) Thank you to everyone who supported your students, stepped up creating strong chapters, organized a competition, helped us get volunteers and judges and solicited donations. I really appreciate all you have done to make your chapters exceptional and our regional and state competitions a success. I look forward to working with you again this school year! Terri Lufkin .
