Sent on behalf of Heidi Griffen, CT SkillsUSA Executive Director

Dear CT SkillsUSA Stakeholders,With the growing discussion nationwide of the coronavirus, and the steps being taken in the wake of its potential spread, we want to make sure you’re fully of aware that our first concern is always the health and safety of our students and the community. In light of the current health issues and concerns resulting from the coronavirus, and with the support of the Superintendent, we have decided to cancel the remainder of this year’s events for CT SkillsUSA.This includes:

House of Delegates, March 18^th. These elections will be held in the Fall in conjunction with the Fall Leadership Conference.
March 27^th Leadership and Skills Conference, and any pre-conference competitions (baking March 20^th).
If a National conference is held, CT SkillsUSA will NOT be in attendance.

Please know that we delayed this difficult decision as long as possible while we searched for alternative solutions. However, the health and safety of everyone involved must be our priority. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this very difficult time!
