Q N 9, v' L Dovoloping Futuft Llldlfl for Marketing and Distribution l I DECA, Distributive Education Clubs of America, had its beginnings in 1947 with only 800 students in 17 states. By 1979 DECA had grown to 200,000 members throughout the 50 states, Puerto Rico, C-uam, the Virgin Islands and the Mariana Islands. The most often asked question about DECA is, What does DECA do? DECA is the only national orga- nization in the public schools of America to attract young people into careers in marketing, merchandising and management. DECA's purpose is to develop future leaders for careers in these fields. DECA pays for every- thing itself. Its national headquarters and staff are maintained by student dues and other internal income. The DECA foundation was created to assist and encourage members to continue to study marketing and dis- tribution. DECA's goals are to devel- op a respect for education in market- ing, merchandising and management in our free, competitive enterprise system through professional confer- ences, chapter activities, school im- provement projects and the support of community activities. DECA recog- nizes and awards student members for outstanding accomplishments in competition with other members. The climax of DECA's year is the National Career Development Con- ference. DECA recognizes outstand- ing individual ability and classroom achievement. Students compete against each other in state competitions. DECA students from our school participated in the State Leadership Conference in Cherry Hill on Febru- ary 20-22. Competency Based Com- petitive Event QCBCEJ winners from the Central Region Competition earned the right to compete in their area of the State competition. Nep- tune's participants this year were: Kathy Ielliff, Master Employee-Ap- parel and Accessories, Debbie Gray, Master Employee-Finance and Cred- it, Fayth Newell, Supervisory-Food Marketing, Beth Soles, Supervisory- Food Marketing, Anne Marie D'Agos- tino, Master Employee-General Merchandise, Tia Johnson, Female Fashion Modeling Casual. Also com- peting were: Dennis Pappas-Sales Meeting, Chris Sternadore-Billboard Advertising, Tammy Frascella- Scrapbook, Sandy Smith-General Merchandise Diorama, and Dorothy Polite-Apparel and Accessories Di- orama. Fayth Newell prepared a writ- ten manual in the Apparel and Acces- sories category which won first place in the state, qualifying her to partici- pate in the DECA National Career Development Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
