S________________ Key Points

• Recognize and appreciate your members

• Give your members something special to be proud

of

• Create events and experiences for your members to

bond over

• Make sure every member has a channel for

contribution

• Let your school know how awesome your DECA

chapter is through announcements, school

newsletters, and social media

Plan of Action

By the end of the week:

• Create a facebook page and group for your chapter

• Post your three chapter goals on your facebook page

Before Regionals:

Create an inside joke (e.g. handshake, code phrase, hand symbol, slogan)

Start recognizing member achievements publically (announcements, school newsletter, social

media)

• Tag DECA Ontario when you’re recognizing members and we’ll share your recognition

with all of DECA Ontario

• Submit an article to the DECA Ontario tumblr or email us at info@deca.ca and we’ll help

you recognize too

• Ideas

• Member of the Week/Month

• Thank You Thursdays; recognize great things people have done in the past week

By the end of the year:

Create a social event for DECA members

• Junior Social for freshmen and

sophomores

• Social at a restaurant

• Invite motivational speakers for a

speaking event

Give members an opportunity to take

leadership

• Fundraising competition: members

can write proposals for fundraising

projects, then initiate these projects

• Sponsorship competition: members

participate in a competition for who gets the most sponsorship

• Participate in DECA Ontario campaigns: Like us on facebook and follow us on Twitter for

information of how you can become a more active DECA Ontario member

E________________ The Challenge

1. Hold a meeting and share your favourite DECA

moment with your members; then share and

reminder members that it’s not all about the

competition

2. Plan bi-monthly social events for your chapter

members so that they’re not only studying for

conferences but also becoming friends with their

fellow members (i.e. next month, have a team

dinner, after that a movie night, a potluck/picnic,

a pizza lunch, and at the end of the year a gag

awards ceremony)
