Everyone is settling into their back to school routine, giving chapter and regional officers the perfect opportunity to gain new members. Find new students, and make them members; put DECA into their routines! The main focus of this month's issue is your Executive Council trying to give you their advice on how to gain new members. If this isn't enough, feel free to email any officer for discussion on how to go about encouraging students to join. The Executive Council Communicator is my main concentration. It will continuously be updated, with more information and guidance in every issue. This is my plea; let us highlight different chapters within each issue by emailing me articles whenever possible! You can reach me at juliadale@hotmail.com. As stated in our previous issue, there will be an award for the best ECC Contributor. Furthermore our tee-shirts for the State Sales Project are a fashionable baseball tee, so take full advantage of that change in design from other DECA attire. Last but not least, check out your DECA knowledge in our DECA Trivia, which will be sure to highlight and excite every issue. Sincerely, Julia Rosse
DECA Week: October 8th – 14th REMINDER:
As we approach the beginning of a new DECA year, we would like all of you to represent New York DECA by purchasing and wearing our State tee shirts. The tee shirts will be appealing because of their "retro" baseball style and their classy color combination of blue and yellow. This will allow you to both represent New York DECA, on top of wearing the shirts for casual purposes. The tee shirts can either be purchased at DECA conferences such as the Fall Conference, SoNAR, and State Career Conference, or through an order form that can be found in the Fall Packet and on our website (www.newyorkdeca.org). We encourage all of you to support New York DECA and purchase a shirt because it can serve as a memento that captures the spirit of our organization. Also, with your cooperation, we can all wear the shirts on the same day at SoNAR or ICDC so that we can represent New York DECA. The Executive Council appreciates any purchases you may make to support your organization.
Building a DECA chapter at a school where the organization is not already ingrained the student body can be a challenge. Recruiting new members every year can be equally as difficult. Here are some tips on how to build a larger membership, how to find new members to join, and finally how to keep members on board so that your DECA chapter continues to thrive.
It’s time for you to see how well you really know DECA. Test your DECA Trivia skills and see how you end up. Don't scroll all the way down until you have answered all the questions. 1. DECA currently has over how many high school members?
2. New York DECA was established in ______
3. Who is responsible for publishing the Executive Council Communicator?
Featuring SUNY New Paltz SUNY New Paltz can be found between the Hudson River and the majestic Shawangunk Mountains in upstate New York. Located an hour and a half outside of New York City, this campus has a wide variety of activities for its students. In the newly renovated gymnasium there are many sports offered, both club and varsity. Some of these division III sports include baseball, basketball, field hockey, swimming, and volleyball, just to name a few. While SUNY New Paltz is very appealing, grades are always the start to getting into the school of your choice. SUNY New Paltz recommends that you have at least 1160 on your SAT and 25 on your ACT. To attract students, SUNY New Paltz has a great selection of both majors and minors. The most popular majors include education, communications, science, and art.
