On Tuesday, December 11th, the White House Business Council extended an invitation to SkillsUSA and “our networks” to join a conference call with senior administration officials on the president’s plan for the budget and the “fiscal cliff.” A staff member and I joined the call, and I extended an invitation to business partners on the board and YDF to join as well. Representatives from Bosch, CAT, Snap-on and State Farm all joined. We again placed this opportunity in the “nice to be asked” category as it confirms that SkillsUSA is on the list of thought-leaders regarding the nation’s future.
