3-16-2020 - SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
SkillsUSA Massachusetts, Inc. has continued to monitor the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation closely and has considered all updates and concerns raised by our members, advisors, school district administrators and community members. All can agree there is no greater priority than the health and safety of every person involved with SkillsUSA Massachusetts, Inc.
After careful deliberation, based on the most recent developments and under the proclamation of a state of emergency by the Governor of Massachusetts, the subsequent declaration of a national emergency by the President of the United States and the banning of gatherings greater than 25 people by the Governor of Massachusetts, the SkillsUSA Massachusetts Board of Directors gathered in emergency session, via Zoom Meeting on Monday, March 16, 2020 and has, with great sadness voted to cancel all SkillsUSA Massachusetts events and conferences through May 16, 2020 including our State Leadership and Skills Conference planned for April 30, May 1&2, 2020.
We are incredibly saddened by the circumstances which have lead us to no choice but to make these difficult decisions however in the interest of health and safety we are confident this is the correct course of action.
Please know how enormously grateful we are for your dedication and hard work in planning for the State Conference each year. We understand the enormous amount of work that has already been put into the 2020 event and we are so sorry our students will not be able to experience the fruits of your labor in 2020.
Please reference the OFFICIAL NEWS BULLETIN found HERE for details of our cancellations and we look forward to planning for next year.
