@decapaw

Over 19,000 DECA members, advisors and corporate partners have gathered in SoCal for the pinnacle event of the DECA year, and we could not be more excited to spend the next four days creating new connections, engaging in challenging new adventures and celebrating incredible achievements with each of you. This year, DECA challenged you to #OwnYourFuture, and you surpassed our expectations in every way. You participated in DECA’s Chapter Campaigns, created innovative new products in the DECA Idea Challenge, attended career pathway conferences, earned Gold-Level Certification for your School-based Enterprise, and conquered the competition to make it all the way to the international stage at #DECAICDC. While #DECAICDC is the most anticipated event of the year, the next four days you’ll spend in Anaheim will certainly go by faster than you ever expected. Be sure to take advantage of every opportunity DECA offers you this week, such as meeting incredible corporate partners, college and universities, and vendors in our exhibit hall, sharing your experiences on social media using #DECAICDC, and exploring the sports and entertainment and hospitality and tourism experiences that Southern California offers including Disneyland® and Universal Studios Hollywood®. Remember, just because you’ve made it to #DECAICDC doesn’t mean it’s time to stop owning your future! Every new connection you make and challenge you conquer here in Anaheim will bring you one step closer to achieving your dreams. Congratulations on making it to ICDC and get ready to #OwnYourFuture in Anaheim!

INTERNATIONAL CAREER DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE The DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC) is the culmination of the DECA year. More than 19,000 high school students, teacher-advisors, business professionals and alumni gather for several days of DECA excitement. DECA members demonstrate their college and career ready knowledge and skills by participating in DECA’s industry-validated Competitive Events Program, aligned with Career Clusters, National Curriculum Standards and 21st Century Skills in the areas of marketing, finance, hospitality, management and entrepreneurship. These members have qualified to attend based on superior performance at the district and association level. More than 1,000 business professionals serve as expert judges to evaluate DECA members’ mastery of these concepts. In addition, thousands of members participate in DECA’s Emerging Leader Series, which helps them attain 21st Century Skills in the areas of collaboration and teamwork, communication, critical thinking and problem solving and creativity. One highlight is the involvement of executive mentors who provide college and career advice. Thousands of DECA advisors and educators participate in administering DECA’s Competitive Events Program and Emerging Leader Series while also participating in professional learning activities.

CONFERENCE PROFESSIONALISM DRESS CODE

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.

The term “delegate” shall mean any DECA member, including advisors, attending conferences (high school, collegiate, alumni, professional).

There shall be no defacing of public property. Any damage to any property or furnishing in the hotel rooms or building must be paid for by the individual or chapter responsible.

Delegates must wear identification badges at all times.

Delegates shall refrain from using inappropriate or profane language at all times.

For a more polished, professional appearance, it is recommended that attendees wear appropriate hosiery/socks.

Delegates shall refrain from written, verbal, physical or electronic activities that may lead to harassment, hazing, bullying or damaging property.

AN OFFICIAL DECA BLAZER IS REQUIRED TO RECEIVE RECOGNITION OR AN AWARD ON STAGE.

The use of any harassment against anyone on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, age, gender, sexual orientation or disability is prohibited.

WHEN APPEARING BEFORE JUDGES

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.

Delegates shall respect the rights and safety of other hotel guests.

FEMALES:

Official DECA blazer with dress skirt or dress slacks and a dress blouse or official blazer with a dress; dress shoes

Delegates shall not possess alcoholic beverages, narcotics or weapons in any form at any time under any circumstances.

MALES:

Delegates shall refrain from gambling—playing cards, dice or games of chance for money or other things of value.

10.

Use of tobacco products and electronic cigarettes by delegates is prohibited at all DECA functions.

11.

Delegates must adhere to the dress code at all times.

12.

Delegates must not dress or behave in a manner than can be interpreted as sexually explicit.

13.

Students shall keep their adult advisors informed of their activities and whereabouts at all times.

14.

No delegate shall leave the hotel (except for authorized events) unless permission has been received from chapter and chartered association advisors.

15.

Delegates should be prompt and prepared for all activities.

16.

Delegates should be financially prepared for all activities.

17.

Delegates are required to attend all sessions and activities assigned including workshops, competitive events, committee meetings, etc., for which they are registered unless engaged in some specific assignment scheduled at the same time.

18.

Delegates will spend nights at their assigned hotel and in their assigned room. No guests allowed during curfew hours. Delegates will be quiet at curfew.

19.

Curfew will be enforced. Curfew means the delegate will be in his/ her assigned room.

20.

Chartered associations will be responsible for delegates’ conduct.

21.
