Notas do Editor
- Perhaps the most accurate measure of one’s character can be taken in difficult and challenging times. That thought can be applied to organizations too, and FY2009 certainly offered some substantial challenges to SkillsUSA in the wake of our nation’s turbulent economy . And yet, through the dedication of our partners, the determination of our staff and the inspiration of our members, SkillsUSA still set records, accomplished goals and exceeded expectations in what turned out to be one of the best years in our organization’s history .
- Most impressively, SkillsUSA set an all-time record in membership for the seventh consecutive year, boasting 313,180 total members. With this year’s total, SkillsUSA has now served over 10 million members since our founding in 1965. A few additional membership highlights from this academic year: · * SkillsUSA had 16,792 active sections (SkillsUSA classrooms) · * 26 states exceeded last year ’ s overall membership totals · * 269 new schools joined with membership totaling 5,349 · * 28 new college/postsecondary schools came onboard with 382 new members We had a GREAT membership year!
- Looking at our national conference, I am pleased to report that this 46 th NLSC is SkillsUSA ’ s largest conference ever. It ’ s also now Kansas City ’ s largest convention We ’ ve set several records this year, including number of registrants, number of contests and number of competitors Tonight, you ’ ll see a new co-sponsor of the opening ceremonies. SkillsUSA is proud that Georgia-Pacific Corporation has joined us and will share the stage with our long-time friends from Bosch. And, Friday night. Lowe ’ s will be the new sponsor of the awards ceremony. Lowe ’ s President Larry Stone will be the speaker. A large group of VIPs from government, education and business and industry are attending and our VIP guest list has exceeded 250. Approximately 600 students and teachers will be participating in Friday ’ s community service project. We all know that the largest national conference ever means more student, teacher and business partner involvement at all levels: local, district, state and national and that is good news!
- I had mentioned the record number of competitors. This year, we have over 5,600 for the first time in our history, competing in a record high 96 skill and leadership competitions. A few more factoids about the 2010 Championships: Volunteers will log over 59,000 hours in the preparation and operation of the SkillsUSA Championships We are utilizing over 16 football fields of floor space in this 35 million dollar event and we believe that Thursday represents the largest single day of corporate volunteerism in America. 942 medals will be presented and 163 recognition awards will be given this week . We know that our technical standards and these competitions make an immediate impact on curriculum nationwide. And again, the growth in numbers of competitors represents thousands more students involved at the local, district and state levels. Steady growth continues to make this event “ Skills Central ” and the national showcase for Career and Technical Education
- T he only “commercial” venture at NLSC is sale of exhibit space at TECHSPO TECHSPO remains nation’s largest trade/technical education trade show 134 companies and institutions are in TECHSPO 2010 (152 attended in 2009 so we are down). However, 19 new exhibitors have been added this year Revenue will also be down for TECHSPO this year. As you can see, we’ll be off of 2009 revenue by approximately $16,000. Revenue budgeted was $315,000. Staff has worked hard on recruitment and retention and, even though the 2010 numbers are off, TECHSPO does retains vendors and customers - 115 companies/vendors have returned Looking on the positive side, TECHSPO drives revenue to programs and more opportunity for students and teachers to experience the latest technology and techniques from 134 companies, colleges and training organizations
- Our online reach is growing. Our monthly average for Web hits is at an all-time high in 2010 and we logged our largest single month of hits in April with 4.6 million hits registered. SkillsUSA has a presence on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, and we ’ re seeing substantial activity from students using these social networks Podcasts, archived Web Conferences and Web-based training sessions have been a highlight in FY ’ 09 and FY10 SkillsUSA Champions magazine online is offered as a free “ e-zine, ” and it allows for advertisers to embed active hyperlinks and to track ad hits Online alumni page offers free membership and collects contact information for prospective employers. Our Web site is state of the art, and more people are turning to it for information, updates and to take action on important advocacy issues Our Web site is state of the art, and more people are turning to it for information, updates and to take action on important advocacy issues
- It is my pleasure to introduce the chairman our board of directors finance committee, Mr. Greg Rintala. Greg serves as a business and industry representative from Snap-on Incorporated and is also the Chairman of SkillsUSA’s Youth Development Foundation. Greg will you come forward and provide a financial update for our corporate members?
- In 2010, online updates have been tied together. For example, a Facebook update automatically gets cross posted to our Twitter feed and the Executive Director’s blog updates are tied to the Facebook page and our LinkedIn group. Our Facebook page has more than 3,600 followers. Last year at the same time, we had 994 followers. We have 484 MySpace followers. This is reflective of the migration of people from MySpace to Facebook. This year, we’ve seen an increase in state associations using Facebook to connect with their student members. Our Every Day Real Heroes Facebook page has grown, thanks to our use of it to highlight the WorldSkills Americas competition. We added a Social Networking widget to the Executive Director’s blog. This allows readers to automatically post a particular blog entry to their own Facebook or Twitter page. They can also recommend it to blog indexing sites.
- SkillsUSA has enjoyed the support of the Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation with 1.5 million dollar grants for the FY09 and FY10 90% of the $1.5 million gift is distributed to local chapters, state associations, students and teachers. Grants have been distributed for school and community improvement, TeamWorks, Career Safe, the SkillsUSA WorldTeam and SkillsUSA Championships materials and prizes In addition to the grants, Lowe’s donated $440,000 of Kobalt Tools through the “Toolbox for Education” program. Four hundred local automotive service technology chapters received the tool donations $150,000 has been set aside for staffing and support of the project Lowe’s contributed $200,000 to the development of PDP online 123 chapters from 42 states submitted designs for NLSC pin and T-shirt the sponsored by Lowe’s. Other NLSC support included sponsorship of the Sustainability Solutions Demonstration and the President’s Volunteer Service Award
- Let ’ s take a look at a snapshot of our audited revenue figures by category. Grants and contributions represented 49 percent of total revenue — compared to 43 percent as recently as FY ’ 07 — This well exceeds membership revenue Only five years ago, membership was our largest revenue category Membership revenue increased 1 percent from $1,888,041 in FY ’ 08 to $1,889,819 in FY ’ 09 Attendance was up at all conferences, but revenue was down was down 3 percent from $1,823,197 in FY ’ 08 to $1,764,435 in FY ’ 09. The negative figure was due to a loss in TECHSPO of approximately $60,000 Publications/ training revenue increased 12 percent from $785,375 in FY ’ 08 to $834,634 in FY ’ 09 In FY2009, the organization was much less dependent on membership revenue. YDF grants and contribution dollars were the highest ever and totaled $4,191,243, as compared to $4,143,307 in FY ’ 08. Challenges in FY ’ 10 include the volatility of the market, an increase in Total Participation chapters (lower revenue totals). In addition Kellogg grant dollars will end in FY ‘ 10 and advertising revenue is down by $66,000. Programs are being tested for sustainability
- We spent more in FY2009 – $9.52 million spent on programs and services compared to $9.36 in FY ’ 08 More contributions raised, yet cost of fundraising was held at 3 percent Management costs decreased from 7 percent to 6 percent Student ROI was the highest ever. Investment of $8 national dues resulted in a return of $29.76 in services as a national average The largest single-year corporate foundation grant ever (Lowe ’ s $1.5 million dollars) was received in FY ’ 09. Lowe ’ s has pledged $1.5 million annually for the next five years Some good news on our expenses: 91 percent of SkillsUSA funds from all sources were spent on the members. As a nonprofit, SkillsUSA is hitting 90 percent return to membership against a nationally accepted Better Business Bureau standard of 70 percent FY ‘ 09 marks the highest percentage of revenue spent on program services in SkillsUSA history and the third year in a row that SkillsUSA entered the 90th percentile range in this statistic
- Introduction: The SkillsUSA Board of Directors has embarked on a long-range strategic planning process called Vision 2020. The vision seeks to identify the goals for SkillsUSA that will be attained by the year 2020. A special subcommittee of the board has worked with staff and stakeholders to develop our new vision. The following three slides will provide a capsule description of our goals inside Vision 2020

- These ain’t for the faint of heart. The assessments are built on national industry standards. To see how they align with a teacher’s curriculum, check the blueprints.
- Validation of the Technical Standard Evaluate competencies’ grain size Review job relevance and scope of standard Construction of the Assessment Matrix Group the refined competencies into topics that reflect natural divisions within the field; Determine the weighting of each topic area and competency; Clarify any competencies with problematic “grain size” or that cannot be assessed online. Validation of the Assessment Matrix: Once the draft assessment matrix is completed, it is discussed, revised and eventually validated by the Technical Committee. Assessment Item Development Develop a series of assessment items for each competency. Input the questions into LearnMate. Develop the appropriate media. Review and revision process between the identified parties. Validation of Assessment Items Technical review of assessment items – approval, rejection or suggested revision of individual items. Implementation of feedback.
