SkillsUSA North Carolina Executive Director Paul Heidepriem and SkillsUSA North Carolina Recruiting and Officer Coodinator Rod Lykins led the meeting presentations and discussions. 

The goal of the presentations was to provide the faculty advisors with information on the upcoming state and national competition as well as reinforce the importance of the SkillsUSA mission.

“We were very excited to have the opportunity to host the SkillsUSA Western North Carolina Postsecondary Leadership conference,” said CVCC SkillsUSA Executive Director Tammy Muller. “SkillsUSA is a very important part of everything we do at our college and we appreciate the executive officers SkillsUSA North Carolina taking the time to meet and discuss plans for this year‘s competitions and activities. We are also grateful for the ongoing strong support we have from our CVCC SkillsUSA advisors. Their hard work and commitment are the key to our success. We would not have one of the top SkillsUSA chapters in the country if it was not for the strong support of our college President Dr. Garrett Hinshaw and our Executive Vice President Dr. Larry Putnam.”

CVCC had more than 20 SkillsUSA faculty and staff advisors participate in the conference.

CVCC faculty advisors offered recommendations for SkillsUSA to consider in putting on this year’s competitions based on the lessons learned from competing in last year’s virtual national competitions.

The highlight of the conference was Haley Anderson, a 2021 CVCC SkillsUSA National finalist in the Photography competition keynote speech, who talked about the very positive impact her involvement with SkillsUSA has had on her life.
