The SkillsUSA Hope Fund was established in 2019 to provide emergency scholarships for individual students in crisis to further their trade education, and for chapters affected by natural disasters. The fund is building during 2019 and we anticipate opening scholarships in 2020. We encourage our SkillsUSA staff, state association directors, board and foundation members, teachers and all stakeholders and supporters to consider making a donation to help the fund launch the Hope Fund. To donate, go to: www.skillsusa.org/get-involved/donate/skillsusa-hope-fund/.
As a special membership incentive, instructors who register at least 15 student members in one technical program plus one or more professionals by November 15 will receive a free SkillsUSA resource.
A total of 51 SkillsUSA state association leaders gathered in Fort Worth, Texas last week for their annual State Directors Association (SDA) professional conference.
