Two small improvements I’d recommend right after you paste it: Replace this line: 844-875-4557 or customercare@skillsusa.org with this clickable version: 844-875-4557 or customercare@skillsusa.org And if you have the actual URL for the Request New School for SkillsUSA Membership form, replace the plain text mention with a real link. If you want, I’ll do the exact final version with the phone/email links baked in.
