Hello! I am the new SkillsUSA advisor for
Grayson Tech. I am trying to get things together
this week so I can have an informational meeting
about SkillsUSA and Fall Leadership next week. I
am completely new at this. I want to have a
strong chapter and take lots of students to the
competitions. Do you have any Promo videos, info,
PowerPoints, handouts, etc. that would explain
SkillsUSA further to the students and things I
could use to get involved. Any info will be
helpful. Thanks so much for your time!
