Which type of SkillsUSA membership allows students to serve as national voting delegates, hold national office, and compete in contests?

• A. Associate membership
• B. Active membership
• C. Alumni membership
• D. Honorary membership

Answer: (B)

Active membership is the status that allows SkillsUSA students to participate fully in the organization’s national activities. When a student is actively enrolled in a SkillsUSA program, they can serve as national voting delegates, hold national office, and compete in official contests. This level is specifically for those who are actively involved as students. Other membership types exist for non-student supporters or graduates—associate membership is for teachers and other adults, alumni membership is for graduates who want to stay connected, and honorary membership recognizes individuals for service. Those categories do not grant student voting rights at the national level, national office eligibility, or competition opportunities.
