We’re excited to have you participate. Competitions are a great way to enhance your development as a professional by competing with your peers from across the state.

Competitions are a professional aspect of the convention and participants are expected to dress the part including the following tips:

  • Take a shower, shave and wear personal toiletries
  • No jeans should be worn during competitions
  • Women should be in appropriate length skirts, dresses or pants suits
  • Men should be in appropriately fitted slacks, button down shirt, tie, or suit
  • And finally... make sure your local chapter President has provided you with a MEMBER PIN to wear during your competition experience.
