Technical Chair Responsibilities |
|
| Serving as a Technical Chair is a very important responsibility. Please do not try to handle all aspects of the contest without additional help. Designing a committee of industry professionals and then delegating work is the best way for the contest to be a success. | |
| ► | Attend
all meetings called by the SkillsUSA--Arizona Director or officially
designate a committee member to serve as chair for that meeting. (No
more than 1 per year.) |
| ► |
Make certain all
committee members are familiar with the contest rules. |
| ► |
Supervise the selection of the competencies to be included in the
SkillsUSA Technical Standards or State-only Contest Rules and
Regulations, identify and secure equipment and supplies needed. |
| ► |
Direct the development
of drawings, written test (if applicable) and instruction sheets
required in the contest. |

requested. |
| ► | Check
all contest area facilities and move in equipment/supplies prior to the

boxing and banding in your area. |
