Regional Competition - Feb 11th @ SVCTE
Breaking Records! Yet Again...
Another amazing year for SkillsUSA California! We shared the state accomplishments and record breaking numbers in our last correspondence. (See it again) With the final numbers now in, Region 1 will be running 59 contests this year. You guessed it - another record! 17 of these contests will be run "live" at SVCTE on Feb 11th and 6 more will be held as demonstration events. The remaining 36 competitions are single school events that will be run at your individual sites. See more information about demo contests below.
October Fall Leadership Growth...
This past October, our Fall Leadership was another great success! With 18 advisers and nearly 40 students in attendance, Region 1 California and PHS hosted the largest Fall Conference since it's inception. This conference has not always been an annual event for the six regions across California. It was designed in an effort to bring advisers and student leadership teams together for a short "kick-off" event for planning a new year with SkillsUSA. Throughout the day, critical information is shared in separate break-out sessions for students and advisers. Along with the regional coordinators, state director and state personnel, new and returning advisers discuss a plethora of topics including; chapter management, program of work, professional development, funding, registration and upcoming dates for the new year. Students are lead by outstanding representatives from the state officer team and alumni in team-building and effective leadership within their own chapters. If you missed the opportunity this year, put it on your calendar now! Next year's Fall Leadership will be held on Saturday, September 23rd at Petaluma High School.
Demonstration Contests at Your School...
As we did last year, we are asking schools that have the only competitors in a given contest to run their own competition. Although it's not the case in all regions across California, many of these "demo" events in Region 1 have three, or less, competitors/teams. Having schools run these events allows us to free up time and volunteers to assist with our multi-school "live" competitions at SVCTE. In addition, it avoids having our members drive a great distance to complete a simple 5 to 7 minute demonstration of their event. As always, any member/contestant is still invited to attend the "live" event for the awesome experience. Let us know if you would like a table at SVCTE for your students to present their work.
Running a Succesful, Single School Demo Contest
In order to be effective, schools and advisers should follow some guidelines and protocol. Please see the attached a PDF document, below, that outlines these guidelines and requirements for your demo events. Please read this documentation carefully. The first page includes suggestions for completing a successful contest. The second page is an absolute requirement! There are no exceptions to these rules and regulations with regards to scoring and the scorecards. All official scoring must be completed and returned to the regional coordinators on or before: Wednesday, February 8th. Failure to submit the official scorecards will result in disqualification of that contest and advancement to state. If you and your student(s) will be attending the "live" event, you may bring your scorecards to SVCTE. No scorecards will be accepted after Feb 11th.
