WELCOME FROM YOUR
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Welcome to DECA’s International Career Development Conference!
After the crazy winter many of us had with record cold and snowfall, it is exciting to be in beautiful, warm
and sunny Orlando. Orlando is one of our four-year anchor cities because it’s so welcoming to our DECA
members and there are so many activities to do as part of the overall conference experience. This city is a
great site for us to celebrate our many achievements, test our skills and knowledge, and network with over
17,000 DECA members and business partners from around the globe—including international delegations
from Canada, China and Mexico, among others.
This year’s ICDC welcomes new competitive events: the Personal Financial Literacy Event, the
Financial Consulting Event, and a new Virtual Business ChallengeTM event, the DECA Hotel Challenge. We also added the opportunity for two certifications. One is the Certified Guest Services Professional certification offered by the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute
(AHLEI)—earned by scoring at least a 70% on the Hospitality and Tourism Cluster Exam. The
other is the Financial Literacy Certification offered by Working in Support of Education (W!SE)—
earned by scoring at least a 70% on the Financial Literacy Exam. The DECA staff has been working hard to continually improve our programs and opportunities for all DECA members.
DECA members, advisors, and business partners embraced the I am DECA theme by sharing their
individual, chapter or association DECA stories through chapter meetings and activities, business
and community presentations, scholarship applications, and certainly social media. We have close
Paul A. Wardinski to 10,000 Instagram photos posted using #IamDECA. We had a record number of campaigns
@decapaw submitted and an increase of chapters participating. That means more members engaged in
DECA, more chapters earned DECA recognition for their recruitment and promotion activities,
and more chapters than ever earned Thrive-level recognition. Some campaigns were up by as much as
50%! We increased our high school membership this year by over 11,000, with 36 associations surpassing
their membership totals from last year and breaking the 211,000 mark—what a great accomplishment! It
proves that DECA’s innovative programs and opportunities attract talented people!
My I am DECA story started in the fall of 1981 at Virginia Tech, where I was introduced to DECA through
our Collegiate DECA chapter. After graduation I became a marketing teacher and DECA advisor. Even after
leaving the teaching ranks and going into school administration, I never left DECA. I stayed involved in many
different facets of the organization, including being a conference coordinator for ICDC for the past 17 years.
DECA is one of my passions and now, as Executive Director, I feel I have a dream job! I have the privilege to
travel all over the country to participate in many different DECA events and at every one of them, I witness
the enthusiasm and pride of our members. It is so exciting and never gets boring! The previous three DECA
Executive Directors set a high standard, and I passionately accept the challenge of continuing to build and
improve this already amazing organization.
I encourage you to take advantage of the incredible opportunity you have during this ICDC. Continue to
add new adventures and experiences to your I am DECA story, and—who knows—you may discover your
passion and future dream job, too!
Congratulations on your path to get here and good luck!
Be sure to follow Paul
on Twitter @decapaw and

and travel updates!

HONORARY LIFE
AWARD
Honorary Life Membership is the highest award DECA can bestow on an individual. Nominees are recommended
by a chartered association and then approved by the DECA Inc. Board of Directors.
DECA is pleased to present three new members of this distinctive and deserving fellowship:
MARY ELLEN COLELLA | NEW YORK
Mary Ellen Colella pursued her love of education when she accepted a teaching position at The Franciscan Academy, in Syracuse, N.Y. Mary Ellen began her career as a
business education teacher and developed the Business Academy Program. After
a promotion to vice principal, she became dedicated to developing the marketing
education program and introduced her students to DECA. She was recruited by the
New York State Education Department to monitor business education departments
and became New York DECA Chartered Association Advisor in 1980. DECA has been
her passion ever since.
Ms. Colella’s rapport with faculty and students provided a sterling example of leadership and competitive spirit for success. During her 23-year tenure with New York
DECA, Mary Ellen directed the state’s officer summer leadership program and new
chapter advisor development, instituted fall leadership workshops to prepare students for competitive events, and increased New York DECA’s membership to over
6,000 members. Colella served on the DECA Inc. taskforce to investigate ways students with developmental disabilities could participate as competitors in DECA competitive events; hosted workshops at North Atlantic Region
Leadership Conferences and International Career Development Conferences; and served as a judge at ICDC for
numerous years. She remains actively involved with DECA activities at the local, association and international levels.
ROGER GLENN | NEBRASKA
As an accomplished business executive, Roger Glenn has exemplified DECA’s connection to business as a valued member of DECA’s National Advisory Board (NAB)
and NAB Executive Committee for nearly two decades. During that time, Roger has
led the partnership between DECA and two major national brands, Safeway and
Gordmans. Both partnerships ensure DECA members are prepared for college and
career and sponsor DECA Inc.’s competitive events and scholarship programs. Roger
served as the NAB chair from 2011 to 2014.
A hallmark of Roger’s service to DECA is his passion for the organization. Watching
him talk to key stakeholders and potential partners to ensure they capture the vision
of DECA is exciting. Roger is masterful in helping existing and potential partners realize how partnering with DECA will ultimately benefit them while providing amazing
experiences for students. Roger has worked tirelessly for many years to build partnerships between DECA and corporations around the country and has personally
contributed to the growth and strength of DECA’s National Advisory Board through his many years of dedicated
service. His leadership helped reshape the purpose and operation of the National Advisory Board. Roger has been
an invaluable partner in creating the vision for DECA.
In addition to his contributions to DECA through his promotion and advocacy efforts on the National Advisory
Board, Roger still makes it a priority to volunteer as a judge at both the California DECA Career Development Conference and the International Career Development Conference and speak to school administrators about the benefits of engagement with DECA. An outstanding champion for our students, he works hard to ensure they have the
best possible experiences.
DECA commends Roger Glenn’s advocacy, commitment and visionary leadership to DECA. Honorary Life Membership is a fitting testament to his dedication.
18
DAVE WAIT | MICHIGAN
Advancing the DECA organization at the local, association and international levels
has been Dave Wait’s mission for nearly the past 40 years. Dave’s first affiliation with
DECA began as a high school member and transitioned to collegiate member, alumni
member, chapter advisor and now state director, where he has served for almost 30
years. With a visionary philosophy and an educational mindset, Dave has developed
programs to strengthen the student learning experience, train and develop DECA
advisors and grow the organization at all levels.
Viewing DECA as an integral part of the business and marketing curriculum, Dave
aligned DECA with the Michigan state curriculum, developed a mentoring program
for advisors and implemented DECA’s Professional Learning Series into his association’s teacher development. Using his knowledge and expertise from the association
level, Dave also chaired the DECA Inc. Competitive Events Taskforce, which successfully aligned DECA’s competitive events with National Curriculum Standards.
Dave has been an early adopter of new initiatives designed to enhance DECA, such as using online testing to provide achievement data, using school-based enterprises as learning laboratories, integrating chapter campaigns, and
delivering high-quality advisor training to improve instruction. Committed to improving the organization, Dave has
shared these best practices with his association peers.
Using his combined experiences, Dave has also served multiple terms on the DECA Inc. Board of Directors, including
holding the office of president, and has hosted multiple DECA Central Region Leadership Conferences.

DECA CERTIFIED
SCHOOL-BASED ENTERPRISES 2015
A school-based enterprise (SBE) is a real business that sells goods and services in a learning-lab setting within a school. By putting the marketing and business concepts learned in the classroom to use in operating an SBE, students are provided with real-world work experience vital to
developing 21st century skills and preparing for future careers.
Congratulations to the following chapters for earning a DECA SBE Chapter Certification for 2015! To become DECA certified, students reflect
upon their work in the SBE through documentation of 10 key business standards and performance indicators from the Business Administration
Core, the Marketing Career Cluster, and the Merchandising Pathway of National Curriculum Standards. Earning a Gold Certification qualifies
students to participate in the exclusive SBE Academy and competition held annually at DECA’s International Career Development Conference.

Students Don’t Start College at JWU.
They Start A Career.
In today’s fast-paced business world, students need a competitive
edge to really stand out.
At Johnson & Wales University, students start taking classes in their
major in their first year, giving them four years to develop one-of-a-kind
work experiences related to their field of interest. They’ll learn from
faculty with industry experience who often help to network for
internships and jobs.
Students can continue their involvement in DECA at Johnson & Wales.
They’ll be part of our National Student Organizations (NSO), the perfect
way to expand leadership, communication and team-building skills.
To assist DECA students in their pursuit of a college education, the
university annually awards DECA scholarships ranging from
$1,000 up to full tuition (renewable for up to four years).
Graduate with a powerful degree. And an even more powerful résumé.

PROFESSIONALISM
ICDC DRESS CODE
ICDC CODE OF CONDUCT
Professional appearance is an important aspect of the overall preparation of DECA members for the business world. To that end, DECA
supports a dress code for its career-based functions that exemplifies
the highest standards of professionalism while being non-discriminatory between males and females.
The Board of Directors for DECA Inc. requires each delegate
attending the International Career Development Conference
to read and complete the Attendance Permission Form and
return to the chartered association DECA advisor as partial
completion of attendance requirements.
DECA’s board of directors has developed the following official dress
standards for the International Career Development Conference. Students, advisors and chaperones must follow the dress code.
Competitors must wear an official DECA blazer during interaction
with the judges. While official DECA blazers are not required
during briefing and testing, professional business dress is required.
Professional dress should also be worn to all conference sessions
including workshops and special meal functions such as luncheons.
For a more polished, professional appearance, it is recommended
that attendees wear appropriate hosiery/socks.
An official DECA blazer is required to receive recognition/an award
on stage.

When judging adherence to the dress code, DECA asks that advisors, teachers and chaperones use observation as the tool for assessing compliance. DECA does not support or condone the touching of students or their clothing as a means of determining whether
or not a student is following the dress code guidelines.
1. The term “delegate” shall mean any DECA member, including
advisors, attending conferences (high school, collegiate,

GENERAL TRAVEL TIPS
• Be alert when checking in. Protect your cash and valuables by keeping them with you.
• Never say your room number loudly enough for others to
overhear or give it out to anyone you do not know.
• Be sure to lock your door when you are in your room as
well as when you leave.
• Call the front desk to verify any unexpected deliveries or
room service.
• Do not leave your door open while you are in the room.
• Always tell your advisor where you are going.
•Never leave money or valuables in your room; use the
hotel’s safety deposit box.
• If possible, use traveler’s checks instead of cash.
• If you see any suspicious person or activity, notify hotel
management.
•Ask the hotel for the most direct route to restaurants
and shopping. Don’t wander through shortcuts.
•Don’t go out alone; travel with at least one other
person. There is safety in numbers.
• Do not leave your room after curfew.
