Your assistance is needed to improve Michigan DECA’s student recognition program. Our goal is to establish sponsors for all competitive events that are conducted at our annual State Career Development Conference. The total cost for a business, group, or corporation to sponsor an event would be $2,000 or $3,000, depending on the type of event. But, by contributing to help DECA, through a personal contributing group, you can insure that all DECA members receive the recognition they deserve!
As a participant in a sponsor group, your name will appear in the state conference program and state newsletter, Spotlight on DECA. But most importantly, you will contribute directly by:
1. providing travel scholarships to the top winners in an event
2. providing awards to the top winners
3. helping to keep membership and registration fees at reasonable levels
4. building a financial base for Michigan DECA
