In September, Thomas Branson and I had the honor to visit Tulsa Tech for their CTSO Kickoff. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Mr. Corbin Allen who gave us a tour of a few business classrooms. We even got to see a bulletin board of previously submitted state pin designs. The technology center had set aside this day to help new and old members become more involved in their offered CTSO’s, these include BPA, HOSA, and SkillsUSA. We spoke to the morning class about BPA before one of their amazing advisors gave a presentation. After the presentation, we were able to answer a variety of questions from students. I loved how interactive this group was, they asked us about competitions, torch awards, and running for state office. When we were done answering questions, the students were separated into four groups and went to play games with the other students from HOSA and SkillsUSA. Everyone we spoke to at this technology center was very kind and polite, they were especially helpful in guiding us to the correct location. I enjoyed getting to meet this chapter. I hope to see these wonderful members competing at the State Leadership Conference! Thank you so much to the wonderful advisors of Tulsa Tech for hosting us!
