Auburn Hills, MI – Genisys Credit Union recently partnered with the Michigan DECA club to sponsor their 3rd annual DECA Career Development Conference, held at Lake Orion High School on January 12th, 2013.
Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) is a professional level organization for high school students interested in marketing. With nearly 600 students & 70 business professionals in attendance, the event was a huge success. The conference was the first level of competition, with 26 different marketing categories for students to participate in.
“The DECA conference was a great way to introduce high school students to the world of marketing,” said Jackie Buchanan, President/CEO. “It prepares them for both higher education and their careers in business.”
Students that were awarded with the highest honors at the Lake Orion DECA conference will move on to the State Career Development Conference, which takes place in Grand Rapids, MI. Winners from the State conference will advance to the International Career Development conference, held in Anaheim, California.
“With all their hard work and dedication, these young adults will be the future of marketing,” said Julia Dalrymple, teacher at Lake Orion High School. “DECA not only teaches marketing, but also lifelong skills, making students successful in any career they choose.”
