Sign Up Members Before Graduation To Help Us Grow
 
Skills USA's Alumni and Friends Asso­ciation continues to grow. With a goal of 15,000 members by August 2010,  we need your help. Please encourage alumni or SkillsUSA business supporters to register as a member online at: www.skillsusa.org/supportenjalumnireg.shtml.

A new membership drive is encourag­ing instructors to sign up their graduat­ing seniors or business partners each spring. Advisors who sign up five new alumni members from their technical program or personal network can have their name entered into a drawing for a $500 VISA gift card.

To participate, simply sign up your members online, then e-mail a list of names to alumni coordinator Niki Claus­en so their membership can be verified. Advisors receive one entry for every five new alumni members submitted. For details, e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
