On April 25, 2008, Kassey Brummell campaigned and won a state officer position against a field of 17 SkillsUSA Officer Candidates from Vinal, Norwich, Cheney, Goodwin and Prince. The SkillsUSA Director noted that Kassey’s campaign speech was excellent. Her final Officer position will be determined at the State Officer Training during August 8-10.

Kassey also serves as the Secretary for Eli Whitney’s SkillsUSA chapter. This is the second year in a row that an Eli Whitney student has been voted into the State Officer rank. Carlos Cepeda, a 12th grade Electrical student, served as the SkillsUSA Secretary of the State for the 2007/08 school year.
