Texas DECA Vice President, Glenda Dawson High School
3….2…1…Go!
Dawson DECA’s chapter meeting started with exciting music, lights, and ICDC/SCDC promo videos as all of our interested students walked into our auditorium, over 250 in total! After a few minutes, our countdown began and everyone slowly joined in to get the meeting started!
The Dawson DECA hype squad got right to it as they introduced our meeting agenda and the 2024-2025 Dawson DECA officers. Our chapter president then ran through DECA’s key components, touching over competition, outreach, and socials. We layed out an easy-to-picture timeline for the year that included all of our most exciting events. Towards the end, our chief of operations touched on the key membership details regarding forms, dues, and dates before handing out our ice pops. These were an amazing way for us to draw in members and promote the meeting for a low cost with an easy cleanup.
In the end our meeting was a success! We maintained a focus on the engagement and making a good first impression on potential meetings throughout the planning and preparation for the event. All of our more technical pieces like the visuals and countdown were rehearsed ahead of time to make sure our team was fully prepared!
