Over the last several weeks, 80 students from the Camas High School DECA program – a nationwide organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management – stood out in regional written and role-play competitions. On Wed., Jan. 15, Camas brought home some hardware from the Area 9 DECA Conference. Thirty students took home medals and 73 students qualified in their event and will be heading to the DECA State Career Development Conference (SCDC) March 5-7 in Bellevue.
On Tues., Jan. 28, Camas DECA also got word that 25 written projects also qualified to compete at SCDC. These written projects are 20-page papers that students spend months researching, coordinating, and writing.
Of the 25 projects, one was a entrepreneurship project where a Camas student developed a business growth plan for his start-up business; 21 projects were business-research projects where students took a business, researched it, and then came up with a plan to improve the business’s reputation and online brand presence. Last, four projects lead by Camas DECA officers focused on using project management to complete the following campaigns:
- A.I.D. Campaign – Career Development
- Know Your Dough – Financial Literacy Project
- Shop Camas – Creative Marketing Project
- All Paws on Deck – Community Giving Project
CHS educators Suzie Downs, Dave Johnson, and Tonia Albert advise the Camas DECA group.
Please join us in congratulating all of our DECA participants!
