2010 Districts Memo

We have sent out the annual District Conference Update Memo to all chapter advisors.

Notable changes include:

• Arrival schedules have been updated – Remember that each district has their own unique schedule
• Changes to the dress code for Awards Ceremony; 10% score penalty applied if dress code is not adhered to.

Important state conference qualifying information
As described at the Chapter Advisors’ Kick-Off in September, this is a change due to the six district format. This is the second year the new six-district system is in effect.

At each District Conference, the top three students in each contest area will be awarded District level medals. However, since we have moved to a six-district format, only the top two (gold and silver medalists) will advance to the State Leadership and Skills Conference, except for TeamWorks and Automated Manufacturing. In the Team Works and Automated Manufacturing events, the top one team per District will advance and additional teams will be named later for a maximum of 8 teams at the State Conference.

For more information such as schedules and testing information, please refer to the District Conference Update Memo.
