Thanks for another wonderful state conference event.  Once again, your remarkable students demonstrated outstanding skills and dedication.  I am very excited to accompany these young people and their advisors to the national conference for the next level of competition at the 2017 SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.
 
NEW PROCESSES! PLEASE READ AND VERIFY YOUR REGISTRATION WAS PROCESSED CORRECTLY:
After a review of the national conference registrations completed so far, I want to make sure that all advisors are aware of the required national conference registration steps.  In order to be considered “registered,” there are numerous details that must be completed throughout the registration process on the national website. 
 
Please pay close attention to the following steps for every participant:
  • For current student and professional members, select the national conference participant from the membership list
  • For all others, register them as “observers”
  • Models must have a name badge, so they must be registered “observers” through the national website
  • All student contestants must be registered for their specific national contest
  • Must select/click a t-shirt size
  • Under the ‘FEES/OPTIONS’ Section of the Registration Process, there is an ‘Add Optional State Fee Items’ Section. You MUST applicable fees for EVERY REGISTRANT:
    • A Lodging Fee (Single/Double/Triple/Quad)
      • *Contestants and Advisors MUST stay at the Assigned Utah Hotel and ADD for the applicable Hotel fee for each registrant.
      • *Observers: If observers choose to stay elsewhere, they MUST add the ‘Observer Other Lodging’ $0.00 Fee so we know they will not be staying with us.
    • Flight/Airfare Fee
      • SkillsUSA Flight Airfare: $650.00 – If the registrant is flying round trip with our group, To Louisville Monday, Returning to Salt Lake Saturday, THIS FEE MUST BE ADDED
      • Other Travel/Self Travel: $0.00 – If the registrant is using ANY OTHER TRAVEL METHOD this fee must be selected so we know not to expect them to fly with us.
    • Optional Ball Game: $10.00 – If the registrant would like to attend the Louisville Bats Baseball Game on Wednesday Night, this fee must be added.
    • High School Student Gold Medalist Only: ($300 Credit) – This is the CTE Credit/Deduction for High School Medalists and Student State Officers.
  • The $150.00 National Conference Registration Fee is Automatically added during the registration process and shows up as ‘Conference Fee’ on the invoice.
  • The $120.00 Utah State Fee is Automatically added during the registration process and shows up as ‘State Fee’ on the invoice.
  • Click the ‘Fee Estimate’ Button at the top of the screen once everyone is registered and verify all applicable fees have been added correctly for each registrant.
  • CLICK THE ‘SUBMIT REGISTRATION’ BUTTON!!!!!!! AN INVOICE IS NOT GENERATED FROM THE FEE ESTIMATE, YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR REGISTRATION OR THE REGISTRATION PROCESS IS NOT FINALIZED!
  • Print two copies of the school invoice. One for your records and one to send with the payment check.
    • WE NOW ACCEPT CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS!
      • Billing Questions/To pay via Credit Card:
      • Contact Jennifer Streker – (801) 540-4342 – strekerj@gmail.com
      • *There is a 3% Processing Fee if you choose to pay via Credit Card
  • Complete the hotel rooming list for your school, making sure to place participants in the rooms based on the room type selected during the registration process on the national website.
  • Include a copy of the payment invoice and a copy of the hotel rooming list with the national conference payment check for all participants from your school, and mail this information to:
    • SkillsUSA Utah

    • 4318 West 1275 South
    • Cedar City, Utah 84720
  • National conference registration must be completed by April 21st. 
  • Payment must be received by April 28th.
 I know this is a semi-complicated process. Numerous resources have been provided to help advisors complete their registrations.  Please take the time to review these instructions carefully and complete all of the required steps.  Thank you in advance
for your efforts in this matter.
 
A few post-state conference notes:
I appreciate those advisors that provided feedback and proposed solutions for concerns following the state conference event. 
We have discussed these items and will take the appropriate actions to improve the state conference experience for all participants.
