DECA CENTRAL REGION LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE TXT IT UP! MINNEAPOLIS DECA MN DECA MINNESOTA AS ASSOCIATION OF MARKETING STUDENTS
Welcome
Central Region DECA, it is my honor in working with Minnesota DECA to host the 2009 Central Region Leadership Conference (CRLC). This conference always brings much excitement throughout the region. As the region with the reputation of being “the most connected” this conference provides us with the opportunity to meet, mingle, and have fun with the members we have built our closest relationships with! If you have not yet marked your calendar with the dates of this conference, it will be held December 4th-6th 2009, in Minneapolis. Be ready to “Txt it Up” with this years theme, Minnesota DECA has worked extremely hard to make it the best it can be.
If this is the first year you are considering attending the conference, as my favorite, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of everything it has to offer. It will provide you with opportunity to meet others throughout the region, attend workshops on many topics like “Running for Office” for example, work on developing yourself as a better leader, and of course the great entertainment DECA always has to offer. Overall, this conference will have everything to prepare yourself to Live. Learn. Lead. for DECA 2009.
If you have any questions on the conference in general, or just want to connect with me feel free. The National Officers of Team 64 have established many ways for us to be most easily accessible; if you are on Skype add me as a contact at NickisDECA, feel free to follow my tweets on Twitter at decaNick, add me as a friend on Facebook, and simply just “Txt it Up”. Thank you, I look forward to either hearing from you prior to CRLC or I will see you there!
