Just a few weeks ago DECA inc. held the annual SAM (State Association Management) Conference in Anaheim California, and as tradition the National Presidents for the high school and college divisions were asked to attend. We were able to meet and network with everyone from Advisors to National Advisory Board members. We had a wonderful learning opportunity and the chance to build relationships and gather understanding from the knowledge of advisors, DECA staff, and the sponsors that truly care for the growth of Delta Epsilon Chi.
We were also able to have a ton of fun! We were able to visit the travel and tourism district of Anaheim, California and see the many hotels… and ride some rides at the theme parks. It was so much fun and I can’t wait for our International Career Development Conference and the chance to introduce all of you to the area. The thought came to me, as I was boarding the plane home, that this short trip was a wonderful experience and I asked myself what made this trip such a success. The answer was easy to point out … it was networking.
If I would have came to California and kept to myself I would have studied alone, ate alone, played alone, and wouldn’t have had that much fun, but I had a great time and it was directly connected to the great people I talked Delta Epsilon Chi with, ate with, and played at the theme parks with. I encourage everyone to network, network, and network not just of job opportunities but to build relationships of trust and understanding with the people around you. This will build strength in your life and build Delta Epsilon Chi in new and great ways.
Also start saving your money as my team, and many others students and business professionals are looking forward to meeting you and networking in April 2009. Lets Make our Mark.
