What is the purpose of the SkillsUSA 'Motto' in day-to-day chapter life?

• A. To memorize slogans for speeches.
• B. To remind members to strive for leadership and excellence in the world of work.
• C. To determine annual dues.
• D. To schedule meetings.

Answer: (B)

The day-to-day role of the motto is to act as a guiding reminder that members should strive for leadership and excellence in the world of work. It sets a standard for how they approach projects, collaborate with teammates, communicate professionally, and serve the community. Rather than just a phrase, it shapes how decisions are made, how responsibilities are carried out, and how members represent SkillsUSA in every activity—from meetings to service projects to competitions. That reflective standard helps create a shared culture focused on growth, responsibility, and professional readiness.

It’s not about memorizing slogans, nor is it about the administrative tasks of dues or scheduling. Those are separate functions; the motto lives in how members carry themselves and pursue continuous improvement in their careers.
