February 1, 2012 will be SkillsUSA Day at the State Capitol. This gives members and advisors an opportunity to visit the State Capitol while the General Assembly is in session. It is our best opportunity to inform legislators of the value of SkillsUSA and Career, Technical and Agricultural Education. Legislators rely heavily on the viewpoints expressed by their local constituents when they make important decisions regarding educational issues. A day spent actively participating and engaged with our legislators provides an effective voice for our organization. A visit to the Georgia Capitol also offers students an opportunity to view first-hand state government in action and to learn about the judicial and lawmaking processes.
