Upon our arrival in Bangor, some students went to 2pm competitions while others checked into our hotels (yes, plural - we needed to use two hotels). Nicely enough, the Residence Inn allowed us to use their lobby space to lounger and feed our hungry students.

SkillsUSA Chapter Excellence Program
SkillsUSA Chapter Excellence Program
The Chapter Excellence Program (CEP) is the single best way to build a successful SkillsUSA chapter. The CEP recognizes achievement as it relates to the integration of the SkillsUSA Framework in chapter Program of Work (PoW) activities.
There are three award levels to recognize program involvement. The first two levels are acknowledged by a chapter’s state association, and the third level is recognized nationally. Each level is designed to give chapters a benchmark for success and future improvement, leading to stronger chapters and better-prepared students.
Level 1: Quality Chapter
This first level honors chapters for achieving essential standards of excellence.
Level 2: Chapter of Distinction
This second level recognizes chapters that go beyond baseline requirements, and Chapter of Distinction award winners may earn bronze, silver or gold level of this award.
Level 3: Models of Excellence
Chapters in each state receiving a gold “Chapter of Distinction” award are eligible for national selection as a Models of Excellence chapter. These chapters define excellence. Best practices will be gleaned from the award winners and shared with the field to serve as models for other chapters to emulate in strengthening their local programs. Eight chapters will be chosen to represent each component of the SkillsUSA Framework (Personal, Workplace and Technical Skills), and one winner representing each component will be chosen at SkillsUSA’s National Leadership & Skills Conference.
