Who is the SkillsUSA Massachusetts Board of Director Chair?

• A. Mr. Brian Bentley
• B. Mrs. Karen Ward
• C. Ms. Anika Koopman
• D. Mr. Ed Markey

Answer: (A)

Being the Board of Directors Chair means leading the board’s work: presiding over meetings, setting agendas, guiding governance and policy, and coordinating with the executive director to steer the organization’s strategic direction. The person identified as the Chair is the one who holds that leadership role on the SkillsUSA Massachusetts board, so Brian Bentley is the correct choice. The other names listed are not indicated as holding the chair position in this context; for example, Ed Markey is a U.S. congressman, which is a different role altogether, and the remaining individuals are associated with different positions within or related to the organization.
