SkillsUSA Kentucky2016 State Leadership & Skills Championship

TO: All SkillsUSA Chapters, Advisors & School Administrators

FROM: Larry Johnson, SkillsUSA Kentucky Director

DATE: March 1, 2016

SUBJECT: SkillsUSA Kentucky State Conference Information and Registration Packet

The 2016 SkillsUSA Kentucky State Leadership Conference & Skills Championship is almost here. I hope your regional events have been exciting and rewarding. We are working to ensure another great KY SkillsUSA State Conference. This year’s Theme is “Your Connection to Career Success”.

By attending the state conference, your students will profit from the positive leadership activities during the competitions. Your students will be introduced to business and industry personnel, they may have an opportunity for on-site interviews, traveling, meeting new people, gaining new insights, and having a lot of fun (Do you do Karaoke).

The conference will provide you with a variety of opportunities. These opportunities include networking with other professionals and guest speakers. Above all, you will share the thrill of competitive events and the conference atmosphere with your students.

Not only will there be competitions, but students may campaign and be elected as a State Officer http://education.ky.gov/stuorg/Pages/SkillsUSA.aspx . I encourage each school to have students participate as a senator or representative, this is the SkillsUSA KY Congress. Students can attend the conference in one of these roles without having won a local or regional competition. Please encourage your students to take advantage of one of these important SkillsUSA Kentucky roles. Delegates or Courtesy Corps members’ registration fee is $40 each instead of $80 for students competing (All student attendees must be registered and participate in something).

This information packet will assist you in registering for the 2016 State Conference. Please read it carefully and provide as many students as possible the opportunity to grow & be successful.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: All forms must be mailed to SkillsUSA KY State Office by March 23, 2016. CROWNE PLAZA RESERVATION/REGISTRATION MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE CROWNE PLAZA BY APRIL 1, 2016.

On behalf of KY SkillsUSA, the KY SkillsUSA State Officers & the KY SkillsUSA Board of Directors we look forward to seeing you and your students at the 2016 SkillsUSA Kentucky Leadership Conference and Skills Championship.
