Students from our DECA chapter recently showcased their talents at the DECA State Conference, competing in events such as Innovation Start-Up Plans, Hospitality and Tourism Operations Research, Apparel & Accessories Marketing Series, Sports & Entertainment Marketing Management Team Decision Making, and Start-Up Business Plan.

Top honors went to Hudson Schmidt and Brinn Kriefels, who placed in the top two of their event and earned qualification to the International Career Development Conference in Atlanta from April 24th–29th.

Other students representing the chapter and competing at the state level included Carley Jensen, Addy Bjork, James Finnegan, Ben Grife, Brian McDermott, Peyton Standley, and Alaina Nelson.

We are proud of all these students for their hard work, professionalism, and commitment to excellence in business and marketing competitions.
