SkillsUSA Nebraska Advisors,
You all received information about how to complete your chapter membership on the national website. February 15 is the deadline for Nebraska membership.
The next thing for you to do is to start thinking about getting your registration for State Conference started. State Conference is April 20 – 22, in Omaha at the DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown Omaha Hotel, the Century Link and Metropolitan Community College South Campus/ITC. Registration for SLC is $60 per person. The registration deadline for State Conference is March 2.
To register for state conference, you will be using the Nebraska SkillsUSA state website, http://www.skillsusanebraska.org/. Do not go to the SkillsUSA National website – that is only for registering membership. The first thing to do on this State website is to “Get An Account” for you and your student members competing at state. This “Get An Account” button is on the top right hand side of the home webpage. Most of you already have an account and you will just have to ” LOG IN” in and update your information. We were told by our management company of this program, that they were going to wipe the student accounts clean this year(tons of extra accounts). That means all of your members will have to also “Get An Account”. So ideally you need to give your members this information as to how to get an account. They will have to follow the prompts and complete that account. If a student knows their user name and password, they can ” LOG IN” to activate their account and update it. The advisor account has to be opened first and updated, so the students can pick the correct advisor. Following this email, you will receive another email from Cori with a pictorial explanation of registering for state conference on the state website. WOW, WAS THAT DIFFICULT TO WRITE OUT!! HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND IT!!
Attached is the Contest Eligibility Sheet for you to follow for registering for state. Go ahead and print some of these out and post them around your classroom. This sheet gives you all of the competitions we will hold at state and specific information about each. You should have the Technical Standards CD to make copies of individual contests for your students. DO NOT send them to state without seeing the standards for their contests. The State Only contest Standards are on the website (more on that next week).
IF you have more than 50 registrants for state, please contact Cori for an easier way to get these accounts opened.
I left off Seward for those schools who registered membership early. They have 44 members registered. Are there any other schools I missed?
