February 1, 2010 is the deadline for the entries to the SkillsUSA National Conference Pin and T-Shirt competition. This event is open to all paid student members of SkillsUSA. What a great way to have a student and advisor from your state recognized in front of a national audience. Paid registration to nationals, a plaque for teacher and student, plus a school grant to the advisor of the winning student will be announced at a later date. Rules are in the Membership Kit and are also posted on the SkillsUSA Web site at: www.skillsusa.org/compete/other.shtml.

Questions may be directed to Karen Perrino at 703-737-0610 or to kperrino@skillsusa.org.
