Welcome to DECA Inc.'s Educational Gateway

Do you have time to assist students with their career goals?

You can, by being a competitive events judge.

	It requires as little as a half day time commitment.
	You'll be helping students prepare for successful careers.
	Students have worked all year to qualify for international competition.
	It's easy to judge. Registered judges receive detailed information in the mail and a thorough judge training is held on site before competition begins.
	People who have judged before enjoyed their experience and are judging again: "Please sign me up for the upcoming DECA conference. I had the opportunity to represent the grocery (retail) industry several years ago. I was, to say the least, very impressed with the program and the professional job that DECA does preparing its participants for the retail and marketing fields. I am available to spend an entire day (or two)." Thanks. Dan Magruder, District Manager/Smart & Final
	There are competitions in a range of industries including advertising, entrepreneurship, fashion, finance, hospitality, international marketing, restaurant, e-commerce, retail, sales and more...

As a judge, you will participate in role-play activities during which students will act out their solutions to real business-world situations. You will then evaluate the students' performances using a brief, easy-to-complete evaluation form.
