ABOUT DECA

With over a 60 year history, DECA has impacted the lives of more than ten million students, educators, school administrators and business professionals since it was founded in 1946. 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. DECAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs and activities have constantly evolved as we use the latest technology and apply cutting edge educational research. Our core focus has remained consistent and is captured in our mission.

OUR MISSION DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES Our guiding principles explain how we fulfill our mission by addressing what we do and the outcomes we expect. 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, connecting to business and the community and promoting competition. Our student members leverage their DECA experience to become academically prepared, community oriented, professionally responsible, experienced leaders.

ATTRIBUTES AND VALUES Our attributes and values describe DECA's priorities and standards. We value competence, innovation, integrity and teamwork.

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 190,000 members in 3,500 schools. Mississippi DECA is proud of the 60 Active Chapters and 1,791 Active members in 2016-2017. The Collegiate Division (formerly known as Delta Epsilon Chi) includes over 15,000 members in 200 colleges and universities. Mississippi DECA is proud of the DECA Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit student organization with members in all 50 United 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 and international departments of education authorize DECAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs.

To: MS DECA Chapters and Advisors Welcome to a new school year with great DECA opportunities and DECA experiences! DECA is a way to make the classroom curriculum come alive. This is our year to “Own Your Future” in DECA. We continue to strive to increase our overall membership and participation in DECA events. We encourage each Chapter to participate in the National Membership Campaign in an effort to increase membership in MS DECA and International DECA. Each officer will reach out to their local chapter, as well as other chapters, to promote National DECA Month. We will also contact schools in an effort to start a new or reactivate a chapter. Each of you can personally help by recruiting at least five new members to your local chapter. Don’t forget professional and alumni members are included in your total count and will be included when determining voting delegate size. Make sure your chapter participates in promoting National DECA Month (November) in your school and community. The 2016-2017 State Action Team has chosen the Muscular Dystrophy Association as the state’s Charity to align with International DECA goals. Each chapter is encouraged to begin their fundraising activities early and continue those activities throughout the year. All chapters who send in documentation of raising $250 or more toward MDA or documentation of 50+ hours of community service (this community service hours would not include raising the money, but would include actual hands-on community service with MDA) will be recognized at the State Career Development Conference. We will continue the activity for Advisors, the Advisor Academy, which will take place on September 8, 2016 at the CM Brewer (FFA) Center in Raymond, MS. The cabins are free, so you can stay overnight on September 7th if wanted. There will be a .5 CEU credit for this event and will cover topics such as: Scholarships, How to run an effective meeting, Fundraising, Test taking, Registration, Changes in competitive events, and Professional Organizations. Another exciting event to look forward to this year is the annual Fall Leadership Conference, October 15-17, 2016. The conference will be held in at the Courtyard By Marriott in Gulfport, MS. Along with our fun activities we have competition, which is vastly approaching. The dates and locations for the District Competitions are as follows: District I – HCC Rankin, Pearl, MS, January 13, 2017 District II – Olive Branch High School, January, January 10, 2017 District III – Itawamba Community College – Belden Campus, MS, January 11, 2017 District IV – JCJC, Ellisville, MS, January 18, 2017 District V – MGCCC – Jeff Davis Campus, January 20, 2017 We hope to see you at Fall Leadership, District Conference, as well as, the State CDC in Jackson, February 15-17, 2017, and ICDC in Anaheim, CA April 26-29, 2017.

Please make arrangements for missed state CPAS test if at all possible. We cannot control the date of the International Career Development Conference, but with proper planning, you should be able to work this out with your district. All advisors and students MUST stay in conference hotel(s) for ALL DECA conferences if more than 60 miles away. The only exception is if a school states that “NO student or advisor can stay overnight for a conference”. This must be on school letterhead, signed by the director or principal of the school and verified by MDE. All outstanding balances MUST be paid prior to attending any DECA activities. All Dues must be paid prior to registering for any DECA competitive event. All registration and hotel fees for ICDC MUST take place through MDE – MS DECA to register for the International Career Development Conference and hotel rooms. All students are to remain in their assigned rooms and may not change rooming situations once registration has been submitted. Please review the dress code with each student and each male is aware that he MUST have a blazer, full front buttoned collared shirt and tie in order to appear in front of a judge. Each female is to wear modest pants suit or professional dress with professional shoes. Each participant is aware that they MUST be dressed in professional attire or they will be disqualified at any level of competition. See pages 28-29. NO LEGGINGS OF ANY TYPE ARE ALLOWED EVEN IF UNDER A DRESS. The dress code can be found on page 28-29. A DECA Blazer is not required at the district or state levels; however, a professional blazer and tie is required for all males to compete. Please note your students will not be registered for ANY conference without the inclusion of a check, money order, purchase order, or letter from your Career and Technical Director or Principal stating that the money will be forthcoming. When you register your students, we prepare for that number and our expense does not decrease if your students do not attend. Payment is required for all who are registered but not in attendance. The amount of registration will not change for any students or advisors not participating in all activities. No payments will be accepted the day of the conference, please send all money in early. All payments should be made payable to MS DECA.

CODE OF ETHICS FOR ADULT ADVISORS/CHAPERONES Name of Chapter/School: Marketing, Management, Finance, Entrepreneurship, Business, CPE, and Hospitality Management education programs (etc.) offer training to those students who have a career objective in the field of business. Individual conduct and appearance is a phase of this training. This phase of the education program becomes apparent at DECA’s Fall Leadership, District Competitions, State Career Development, and International Career Development Conferences. Since a good example is one method of teaching, and students participating in these conferences are impressionable, a Code of Ethics is set for adult advisors and chaperones. It becomes the responsibility of each and every participant to see that proper conduct is adhered to at all times. Violations of these practices and procedures will be referred to the State Advisor. 

Advisors shall conduct daily meetings with participants for progress reports, time schedules and other activities.



Advisors shall keep an agenda for each student so that they may be reached at any time during the conference.



Each advisor shall be responsible for seeing that participants adhere to all conduct practices and procedures including the conduct code found on page 26 AND dress code found on page 29.



The rules as stated in the DECA/Collegiate DECA Conduct Code and the Dress Code are called to your attention for review and should govern the behavior of advisors, chaperones as well as students. It is the advisor’s responsibility to ensure that the dress code and code of conduct of their students is followed at all times. If a chapter is particularly unruly, the whole chapter can be sent home. Individuals who are not dressed properly or act out may be sent home. Individuals and chapters can lose awards for bad behavior or dress.

Permission Form / Liability / Dress Code Fall Leadership/District/State Conferences I certify that a permission form, liability and dress code has been completed for each student attending Fall Leadership, District and State Conferences and I will have them in my possession.

These activities include, but are not limited to, conferences, competitive events, online challenges, scholarship applications and more. Board policy states that all members, including advisors, must pay membership dues. Who is a professional member? Professional members are individuals from the community (i.e., business leaders, judges, internship sponsors, counselors, administrators) who are active with the chapter. They must pay the appropriate DECA Inc. and state/provincial/territorial dues. Professional members receive a pin and card, one year subscription to Dimensions (if a current address is provided) and the value of supporting an organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs to be college and career ready.
