It has arrived! The SkillsUSA Geospatial Technology Competition project package was delivered this afternoon by UPS. It was sent by Digital Quest. My wife was kind enough to call me once it arrived. It was kind of hard to work after that, but I made it through the rest of the day. Although she denies [...]
Well after several emails with both Digital Quest and NC SkillsUSA, I have a final answer to the registration cost for the SkillsUSA Geospatial Competition. The SkillsUSA Championships’ Program Director has come to my rescue. As stated directly from their clarification email:

As I continue to seek funds for my Geospatial Technology Competition, I am utilizing various areas to make some extra money. Selling things on eBay has been a very dependable source for extra money. I put up a digital camera on eBay hoping to cash in on a few bucks. Someone did bid on the [...]
On a positive note for the week, my total funds raised have increased to just over $180. This is really exciting, and I appreciate the support of those who have helped out. In that total I have added some more spare change that I have found around the house, and I was able to cash [...]

Many others over the last few days have also [...]

After originally doing some reading about the contest, I thought that it would be best to start at the local level and work my way up. I found that the SkillsUSA advisor at Central Piedmont Community College was in the automotive [...]
Although I am in the midst of raising funds to attend the SkillsUSA Geospatial Technology Competition, I am looking for support in a more important way. It is a shame that it took me being in the GIS industry 2 1/2 years while attending a geospatial technology college program before I heard anything about the [...]
