It's rewarding to judge. In fact, many of our judges ask to judge multiple days because it is such a positive experience. We are certain that you will be impressed with the quality of our students, but judging is not complicated. You will be evaluating the skills you use every day in your business or industry. You will be thoroughly briefed by the teachers running the event before you start and throughout the day.
Community service – Many companies encourage employees to participate in community service, and DECA is a 501(c)(3) not–for–profit organization. All judges receive a follow–up letter shortly after the conference, thanking them for volunteering as a judge.
Thank you for your interest!
