SkillsUSA 2025

For the 37th time, I covered the National Leadership Skills Conference for SkillsUSA. This year there were over 18,000 competitors and attendees in Atlanta GA, where students who were medal winners in their states or US territories vied in their trade and skills areas. There were over 140 contests this year.

Thanks to Karen Kitzel,  Jane DeShong Short, Craig Moore, Clare Briner, Brooke Gatchell, Alexis Pratt, Jacob Leftwich, Kelley Wheeler, and the rest of the dedicated SkillsUSA crew for the opportunity to be of service once again.
