SkillsUSA also promotes understanding of the free-enterprise system and involvement in community service. It has an annual national membership of 300,000 students and instructors and an Arizona membership of approximately 7,800.
Arizona SkillsUSA board members assist the state office with local, regional and state programs and services; coordinate local and regional leadership development and skills competition conferences; provide guidance to and create policy for the statewide association; provide general financial oversight; and engage in activities that support the mission, goals and vision of Arizona SkillsUSA, such as strategic planning.
