form as new instructions have been added this year. Don't wait until
March 4th to submit your registration forms!
Item #3: No Increase to State Championship Registration Fees (second
consecutive year)
Students and adults planning to stay overnight at the Conference Center
at the Maritime Institute of Technology (CCMIT) will be paying the same
amount as the last two years. Please note that the following per-person
CCMIT room charges include the $70.00 "same-day" conference registration
fee: Four-in-a-room - $110.00 per-person, Three-in-a-room - $120.00
per-person, Two-in-a-room - $150.00 per-person, One-in-a-room (adults
only) - $215.00.
Item#4: State Championship Registration Deadline March 4, 2010
Please be sure to submit your completed State Championship registration
forms (via e-mail attachment) by the March 4, 2010 deadline. To allow
ample time for lead advisors to complete this process, the SkillsUSA
Maryland Board of Director's has again set the deadline as close to the
event as possible. This allows very limited time to process the
information before the March 26-27 State Championship. Please don't wait
until the last minute to submit your forms.
As a added incentive to submit the registration information on time, a
$100.00 late charge will not be awarded to chapters that adhere to the
March 4 deadline. J
Item #5: State Championship Contest Updates on Website
