WARWICK – Lori Velino, a guidance counselor at the Cranston Area Career and Technical Center, has won the 2012 SkillsUSA Rhode Island Advisor of the Year Award.

Rep. James R. Langevin, D-R.I., and SkillsUSA RI Executive Director Josh Klemp presented Velino the award on March 30 at Cranston High School West, as part of Langevin’s Rhode Island Skilled Economy or “RISE” tour.
