The State Officer Team is elected each year during the annual Legislative and Leadership Conference held in November.

Being a state officer is one of the highest honors a student can achieve in SkillsUSA Tennessee Postsecondary. It can also be one of the most rewarding experiences for a student, too. If you are considering running for a state office (any SkillsUSA office, really) be sure you are doing it for the right reasons. Yes, it can lead to a great title, some travel and can look great on a resume, but holding an office means you agree to take on certain responsibilities. You are agreeing to represent the organization on a state and national level!

Josh McBroom is Computer Information Technology student at Tennessee Technology Center at Ripley. He will graduate in August of 2012, and plans to pursue a career in computer maintenance.

Tony has been married to his wife Mechelle for 22 years and they have four wonderful children Jon, Malaki, Megan, and Cody.
