Mandatory Communication Requirements

One of the key hallmarks of a successful state officer team is maintaining thorough and consistent communications with all fellow officers, along with SkillsUSA Idaho state staff members.

Upon elections, a state officer email address will be provided to you. This will serve as the main platform of communications among the officer team, as well as with members of the state SkillsUSA staff and board. The upmost professional means of communicating will be maintained at all times when using this email address, and any inappropriate correspondence is automatic grounds for suspension or removal from your elected officer position.

Violations and Penalties
- Violations of any of the above items may be grounds for disqualification or suspension from an activity or office.
- The violator will be sent home at his/her own expense.
- Proper notification of the violation and action taken will be sent to the state officer’s parent(s)/guardian(s), advisor, and school administrator.
I understand that, by signing this contract, if I am in violation of any of the above regulations and/or conduct myself in a manner unbecoming of a SkillsUSA Idaho State Officer, I may be suspended from further state officer activity or lose my officer status. I further agree to accept the penalty imposed on me with the understanding that all such actions will be explained to me. I realize the severity of the penalty may increase with the severity of the violation.
