From: Jack J. Rose Date: August 1, 2014 Subject: 2014-2015 CALENDAR OF EVENTS AND INFORMATION Welcome to the 2014-2015 academic year! Enclosed is your 2014-2015 Calendar of Events, which you will need to refer to throughout the year. PLEASE pay attention to deadline dates! We work with a very limited budget and must save monies. Your prompt attention to these dates and deliveries will save telephone expense and other expenses for which we are accountable. The 2014-2015 Collegiate DECA Interactive Guide is accessible from our website, www.flcollegiatedeca.org. – just click on the “NEWS” tab and you will see the link. Use the Interactive Guide to access all competitive events specifications, leadership awards, and chapter awards information. Each chapter should submit the awards form no later than by the March 1, 2015 deadline. I know all chapters in Florida qualify for several of these awards, including a community service award. Inform your students of the 50th Annual State Career Development Conference, to be held March 5-8, 2015 in Orlando at The Florida Hotel and Conference Center, at the beginning of the school year so students can start saving money for the conference. Most can afford to put away a few dollars a week and will not be financially unable to attend if they don’t plan ahead. Perhaps you might ask your chapter secretary or treasure to set up an accounts receivable excel sheet and invite weekly or monthly payments towards the conference. Information on the 50th Annual State Career Development Conference will be sent to all chapters by October 1, 2015. The 53rd Annual ICDC (International Career Development Conference) will be in Orlando, April 17-22, 2015 (travel home the morning of April 22). The theme this year is I AM DECA. As the host state, we would demonstrate the great hospitality put forth for visitors to The Sunshine State. Thus, we have an additional role to spread the Florida Sunshine to our Collegiate DECA colleagues. Another important facet of this year’s ICDC is that our International President, Johnnie Hubbard hails from Florida. Johnnie has been an active member of high school DECA at Jupiter High School and served as Chapter Vice President, President-Elect, and President of our JWU North Miami Collegiate DECA Chapter. At last year’s ICDC in Washington, D.C., Johnnie was elected as the International President of Collegiate DECA. Along with a great team of Vice Presidents, I am sure that this year’s international team will continue the growth of Collegiate DECA and take our premiere professional student organization to a higher altitude. With the enthusiasm of the members of the Florida delegation, there is no way to go, but up, up, up to the greatest year ever for Florida Collegiate DECA and Collegiate DECA. Plans for the 50th Annual State Career Development Conference have already begun and we look forward to the biggest and best Florida Collegiate DECA Career Development Conference ever. Have your members mark their calendars now and make a commitment to take part in these ‘resume boosting’ opportunities. What is so special about the 2015 CDC, you ask? It is our 50th Anniversary and the celebration will be a memorable event. Once again, thank you for your involvement in the greatest post-secondary student organization – FLORIDA COLLEGIATE DECA!!!! If I can be of any assistance to you, or your chapters, please do not hesitate to call.

HISTORY OF DECA, FLORIDA COLLEGIATE DECA, AND COLLEGIATE DECA DECA WAS FOUNDED IN 1946 as a co-curricular program for students enrolled in high school Distributive Education (today, marketing education) programs. With over a 65-year history, DECA has touched the lives of more than ten million students, educators, school administrators and business professionals. Their strong connection with our organization has resonated into a brand that people identify as a remarkable experience in the preparation of emerging leaders and entrepreneurs. DECA’s programs and activities have constantly evolved by using the latest technology and applying cutting edge educational research. DECA’s core focus has remained consistent and is captured in the mission of the professional student organization. DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. The guiding principles explain how the co-curricular organization fulfills its mission by addressing student-focused activities and the outcomes expected. DECA enhances the preparation for college and careers by providing co-curricular programs that integrate into classroom instruction, applying learning in the context of business, connect to business by providing network opportunities, and the community through community service activities, and promoting competition. The student members leverage their DECA experience to become academically prepared, community oriented, professionally responsible, experienced leaders.
DECA is organized into two unique student divisions each with programs designed to address the learning styles, interest and focus of its members. The High School Division includes 185,000 members in 5,000 schools. The Collegiate Division (formerly known as Delta Epsilon Chi) includes over 15,000 members in 200 colleges and universities.
DECA Inc. is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit student organization with members in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Canada, China, Germany, Guam, Hong Kong, Korea, Mexico and Puerto Rico. The United States Congress, The United States Department of Education and state, district and international departments of education authorize DECA’s programs. A post-secondary division of DECA was officially approved in 1967. However, in 1965, with its visionary leadership, Florida established a post-secondary division for the students enrolled in the junior college and mid-management programs. The name was the Florida Association of Managerial Education. The first National Leadership Conference for the division was held in 1967 and in 1969, the division was renamed the Junior Collegiate Division. On September 27, 1982, the Junior Collegiate Division of DECA became Delta Epsilon Chi. In June 2008, the Florida Association sponsored a name change to Collegiate DECA, as the name of the organization. Again, with visionary leadership, the Florida Association sponsored a bylaw amendment to change the name of the international organization to better brand the organization. At the 49th Annual Business Meeting of Delta Epsilon Chi, the membership overwhelmingly approved the name change to Collegiate DECA. Thereafter, the Florida Association officially became the Florida Association of Collegiate DECA. Our web site is www.FLcollegiateDECA.org. Florida Collegiate DECA will hold its 50th Annual State Career Development Conference March 5-8, 2015 at the Florida Hotel and Conference Center in Orlando. The official theme for the conference is “I AM DECA” which will serve as the preliminary to the international conference.
Collegiate DECA will celebrate its 54th anniversary during the 2014-2015 academic year. This year’s theme is “I AM DECA” and the excitement will take place in Orlando, Florida, April 17-22, 2015.
8.
Participants will arrive from all over the world for this event. During a two-week period, DECA and Collegiate DECA will have over 18,000 participants vying for competitive event awards, scholarships, and networking opportunities with business professionals, and participating in Academies led by industry professionals. Collegiate DECA will celebrate this international conference April 17-22, 2015. High school DECA students will join together for their international conference in Orlando the following week. Florida has been one of the leading states in supporting and participating in Collegiate DECA. This year, Johnnie Hubbard III, a former Chapter President at Johnson & Wales University in North Miami, and a past State Officer, will serve as International President. Several International Presidents have hailed from Florida and others have served as Vice Presidents. The many chapter advisors throughout the state continually demonstrate their devotion to the student organization by their many hours of involvement in chapter activities and preparing students for competitions. The Executive Director of Florida Collegiate DECA has served as Chairperson of the Post-Secondary Advisory Council, National Trainer for Collegiate DECA’s new state advisors, and is a member of DECA, Inc., the National Retail Federation, the American Marketing Association, Association of Career and Technical Educators, Florida Association of Career Technical Educators, and MarkEd. In 1993, Florida Collegiate DECA was transferred, with DECA, from the State Department of Education to become an independent corporation. Jack J. Rose, State Advisor, 1984-1993, was contracted as the corporation’s first and only Executive Director and State Advisor. In 1999, Florida Collegiate DECA was separated, for DOE funding purposes, from DECA. Florida Collegiate DECA looks forward to serving over 3000 students at 20 chapters throughout the state during the 2013-2014 academic year and will reach out to the more than 12,000 high school DECA members throughout the State. During the past five decades, Florida Collegiate DECA has been very visible at the International Career Development Conferences where the great majority of students made it to the final round of competition and many placed in the top ten. During these past years, Florida students have returned home with many first, second, and third place awards, which reflect the education received in the classroom by a superb group of dedicated educators and advisors. In addition, three International Presidents have hailed from Florida. Andrew Monarch served as International President for the 2000-2001 academic year, Wilson Enriquez served as International President during the 2002-2003 academic year, and as mentioned above, Johnnie Hubbard III will serve the 2014-2015 academic year. All international presidents served as presidents of Florida Collegiate DECA prior to their international election. This organization is extremely proud of our post-secondary students…the leaders of tomorrow. Kaila S. Nichols, past-President of Florida Collegiate DECA, served the international organization as Vice President during the 2009-2010 year. Brittany Keating, a UCF graduate, and a graduate of the University of Florida her Masters Degree, she served as International Vice President during the 2013-2014 academic year. Matthew Weingard, a senior at Johnson & Wales University, North Miami Campus, was elected President of Florida Collegiate DECA at the 2014 State Career Development Conference, and will lead the State Action Team through another successful year. Joining the State Action Team with Matthew are William D. Nelson, Johnson & Wales University, and Olivia Lenau, Indian River State College. This State Action Team are members of the Executive Council of the Florida Association of Collegiate DECA, along with Professor Erick Perez, Chairperson (Broward College South), Board of Directors, Florida Collegiate DECA, and Dr. Carolyn Massiah, (UCF) Board Member, Florida Collegiate DECA. Last year was a very special year for our Executive Director, Professor Jack J. Rose, who celebrated his 51st year of involvement with DECA and Collegiate DECA and his 30th year as Executive Director of the Florida Association of Collegiate DECA. Professor Rose has been recognized on numerous occasions for his outstanding leadership, dedication, and commitment to members and advisors of this premiere professional student organization. He was honored at the 2013 International Conference for his 45 years as an advisor. Florida Collegiate DECA is most appreciative of our corporate sponsors who are featured on our website. Without their support, we will not be able to provide our many activities for post-secondary students. For further information on Florida Collegiate DECA, please visit our website at www.FLcollegiateDECA.org or contact our Executive Director, Jack J. Rose, at [email protected].

than three seconds that way • Use eye grabbing graphics to get people’s attention • Put posters in well-traveled areas • DON’T LIE IN YOUR ADS…Even though “free airfare” will get attention, students will stop reading
once they realize it is a gimmick
Advertise Early!!!!! At least one month ahead…
• Put it in the campus newsletter • Get it in the Weekly Bulletin • Put a teaser box stuffer or table tent – just enough info to keep them watching for more details
Two and one-half to three weeks ahead…

your campus sign policy) • Prepare box stuffer and doorknob hanger

Many of the above ideas can easily be converted to a fundraising activity by
selling tickets, having outside vendors pay for tables (crafts show), getting financial sponsors, etc. For example, have local merchants donate
merchandise and make up several different gift baskets – sell raffle tickets--$1.00 each or SIX FOR $5.00 (you’ll sell more!!). The best fundraiser is one where the
organization doesn’t have to spend money for the fundraiser – get someone else to pay for it!
Use your creativity and talent!

WHAT IS A POW? Your Guide to a
Program of Work and
Chapter Motivation
prepared by 43rd State Action Team
Florida Collegiate DECA
WHAT IS A PROGRAM OF WORK?
A program of work (POW) is a list of goals that officers or committees develop to serve as a “road-map”
to guide them through their terms. The program of work should contain effective goals and include a
mission statement. This is a proclamation vowing to be dedicated and that sums up your goals.
WHAT ARE SOME GOOD AREAS TO BUILD UPON FOR OUR
PROGRAM OF WORK?
Increasing membership, community/business involvement, and community civic projects are great areas
to include in your program of work. You want to make sure that the members are included in the goal
setting phase to do the program of work so they will assist in executing the goal.
45.
Effective Ineffective Is the goal realistic?
Yes No
Does the goal specify time? Can the goal be evaluated?
Yes No
Is the goal clear?
Yes No
Who created the goal?
Members Designated leader, elite group, or tradition.
Does the goal mention cost?
Yes No
Are these goals important to the members?
Yes No
46.
EFFECTIVE VERSUS
INEFFECTIVE
The Use of ACTION VERBS
When writing the program of work, use action verbs. These words can give your goal life and meaning. Without it, your goal is incomplete and will be difficult to attain. Here’s a list of action verbs to consider when writing your goals.
Help Attend Increase Assist Hold Promote Support Inform Participate Involve Have Prepare Explain Recognize Explain Achieve Send Plan Continue Run Raise and most importantly – Evaluate Each Action’s Results
47.
MISSION STATEMENT a proclamation vowing to be dedicated and that
summarizes your goals.
SAMPLE MISSION STATEMENT
As the 49th State Action Team, a dynamic group of student leaders, we encourage each member to take advantage of the
unlimited opportunity that Collegiate DECA offers.
We commit to promoting Collegiate DECA while making ourselves readily accessible, embracing diversity, and reaching
out to the community.
We commit to increasing corporate involvement, leadership development, and overall membership through communication
with members, advisors, and business professionals.
We commit to recognizing each member and association as an invaluable element in this professional student organization.
48.
The Good Leader Has faith in people and wants to work with them. Has poise and confidence. Speaks in a clear voice and enunciates clearly. Carefully plans meetings and projects so that they move along in a timely manner. Shows interest and alertness through his/her own attitude, mind and body language. Is democratic in dealing with Collegiate DECA members. Is fair and impartial------does not take sides when he/she is presiding Is patient, optimistic and gives credit for work done. Is sensitive to the individual members and their differences. Acts as helper, umpire and moderator so that all are encouraged to share in the work of Collegiate DECA. Shows a sense of humor to relieve tension in a serious meeting. Realizes that to serve Collegiate DECA as an effective leader, he/she must involve others to establish a team effort. Believes in the organization and has a sincere desire to perform to the best of his/her abilities. The Poor Leader Takes the job for the ‘‘honor’’ that he/she can get from it. Fails to understand the importance of setting an example for other Collegiate DECA members. Lets everything go until the last minute and then hopes it will all work out. Seems bored, is not alert, whispers to others and appears disinterested. Dominates, imposes opinions and forces others to depend upon him/her. Shows which side he/she is on before getting the facts into the open. Is impatient, sarcastic, pessimistic, and critical and takes credit for the work of others. Does not watch the group to detect weariness, boredom or frustration. Cares only about completing a task and not about the contribution of all Collegiate DECA members. Has no humor in a meeting. Takes advantage of his/her position to show importance and take control. Does not like the idea of giving anything extra to the organization but wants to be the ‘‘big shot.’’
49.
Community Service & Service Learning
Community service and service learning is service volunteered by individuals or an organization that benefit a community or its institutions. Serving and volunteering builds character and enables members to help others while learning about themselves. And, as members strive to make a difference within their communities, they also strengthen their chapter by getting all members involved and working together on a project that everyone can be proud of. National Learn & Serve Challenge DECA's partnership with the NLSC provides advisors and members access to incredible resources for teaching/learning through service. It also provides another opportunity to promote your community service project and receive recognition. For more information, or to post your chapter’s service learning activities, visit The National Learn & Serve Challenge Website (http://www.learnandservechallenge.org). Community Service Award Recognizes chapters for their civic activities at the International Career Development Conference. Chapters must complete the reporting form and submit it directly to Collegiate DECA by March 1. Each chapter submitting a report will receive a certificate and ribbons at the International Career Development Conference. Guidelines and submission form can be found on the Web site. Other Ideas/Important Items to Consider If your chapter is just starting out, you may want to consider starting off with small projects such as spending a day at a children’s hospital or cleaning up a local park. Simple activities can serve as a stepping-stone to allow other leaders in your chapter to come forward with new ideas. As participation in your chapter grows, community service efforts will increase. Partner with Another Organization When developing a community service project, it may be helpful to partner with another organization on campus to get started. By working with another organization, resources will increase and it will also acquaint you with other leaders on campus. Your chapter can also consider contacting local high school DECA chapters in the area to participate in joint community service activities. Investigate the Needs in Your Community If your chapter is developing a community service activity, it is important to research the needs in the community. Every community is different and there may be needs that are not being served. Contact your campus community service office, get in touch with a local charity organization, or contact the local government to find out how your chapter can help. Build a Partnership for the Future When working with a community group, be sure to provide a vision for your involvement in future activities. Your chapter can have a great impact in the community if a project is sustained from year to year.

Fundraising
Raising funds is a necessity in any organization. Fundraising income is commonly used by Collegiate DECA chapters to carry out chapter projects and activities, as well as to attend conferences. A well-planned sales project or fund-raising campaign will not only generate funds for the chapter, but it can also give a very meaningful learning experience for chapter members.
