DECA Seeking Business Community To Be A Judge At Regional Event
It’s not Dancing with The Stars but DECA needs judges.
DECA, is an international organization for high school and college students interested in business administration, marketing, hospitality, management, and entrepreneurship careers, is seeking members of the Rockland or Westchester business community to serve as a judge for its regional competition.
The Region 3 DECA Competitive Events Conference will take place at SUNY Rockland Community College on Jan. 5 from 8:30 to 1 pm. The event will bring together more than 350 business and marketing students from around the region. Some 15 high schools in the mid- & lower Hudson Valley will be participating.
DECA has competitive events in marketing, administration, finance, and hospitality. Prior to the day of the event, all students will take exams to test their business and marketing knowledge. During the conference, students will be given business scenarios and will role play them with the judges. Students range from freshmen to seniors, some experienced in business classes, and others interested in finding out about business careers.
Judges receive guidance on the events, a script, and a scoring rubric for each competitor. DECA suggests judges bring business cards, because judges also have time to network, and will probably meet a student who would make an excellent intern or employee.
Members of the local business community are uniquely situated to understand the business concepts presented during competitions and amply qualified to give valuable feedback to students based on their event in areas such as business management, marketing, sports and entertainment management, hotels, restaurants, tourism, accounting and finance, and/or entrepreneurship,” said DECA Supervisor Lisa Svara, a business education teacher at Nanuet Senior High School.
“We will provide a complete orientation with a continental breakfast before the competition begins, a full script for your event, rubrics to score your competitors, and there is an optional lunch for judges afterward,” she said
