What kind of support must a candidate have from the chapter?

• A. Chapter advisor's support
• B. Chapter president's support
• C. Chapter treasurer's support
• D. Chapter secretary's support

Answer: (A)

The requirement tests who officially endorses a candidate to run for chapter leadership. In SkillsUSA, the chapter advisor acts as the sponsor and gatekeeper for candidacies. This person reviews and approves a member’s eligibility, ensures the candidate understands the duties and responsibilities of the role, and confirms the campaign complies with chapter policies and school rules. With the advisor’s support, the candidate can proceed with the election process and represent the chapter properly. Other officers such as the chapter president, treasurer, or secretary might support or campaign for a candidate, but none of them serve as the official sponsor or required endorsement for candidacy.
