We really want you to attend the 44th Annual Florida College DECA and Delta Epsilon Chi State Career Development Conference, March 5 - 8, 2009 at the Doubletree Castle Hotel in Orlando.

While we realize finances are a factor in attending the State CDC, we have a way for you to get a free registration, worth $95.00. All you need to do is recruit twelve (12) professional members to Florida College DECA and Delta Epsilon Chi by November 1, 2008. Please read the information below, download the form, and ask your family, friends, employer, etc. to join. Besides helping the organization, they are helping you so you can participate in the conference. Participation in the conference, and being an active Florida College DECA and Delta Epsilon Chi member, adds much to your resume and shows your leadership, dedication, commitment, and community involvement.

Get your chapter involved in fundraising activities at the beginning of the school year. Don’t wait until January to start raising money. If you are working, put away $5.00 each week, starting in September. For your birthday, or the holidays, make your family and friends aware that you would appreciate cash gifts which will go towards the conference. If you are a member of the weekend club circuit, have one less drink and put that money towards the conference. If you are employed, ask your employer to help sponsor your participation.

We challenge each of you to commit now, and look forward to welcoming you at the conference and your being part of the excitement. This is your professional organization and we know that you will do all you can to increase your chapter membership by recruiting new members on your campus.

Should we be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
