State Delegate Program
SkillsUSA is a student-led organization whose student members are charged with the responsibility of governing the affairs associated with the organization bylaws. The SkillsUSA State Conference Delegate Program engages chapter-identified delegates to represent their respective schools in introducing, debating, modifying and voting upon delegate items that may include organization bylaws, ad hoc committees and the SkillsUSA state officer elections.
As a result of the State Conference Delegate Program, the SkillsUSA mission is achieved by ensuring delegates are able to:
Demonstrate Decision Making to make informed organizational decisions by engaging in training about parliamentary procedure and the decision-making process to execute the responsibilities of a delegate
Evaluate local and state needs related to career and technical education and SkillsUSA
Collaborate with peer delegates to analyze organizational goals, consider chapter-level needs and provide input that represents their chapter's student membership and contributes to the achievement of the state organization's mission.
NOTES:
A state officer candidate may serve as a delegate and vote but may not be seated in the House of Delegates meetings during campaign speeches and problematic questions.
Delegates can also be competitors, but only contestants in a specific group of contests (Chapter Advisors consult registration guides)
Interested SkillsUSA Massachusetts members must apply for consideration to be a national delegate representing Massachusetts. See IMPORTANT FORMS for application details.
