***We Need Your Help*** DECA Eastern Regionals
Olathe South is hosting DECA Eastern Regionals on Thursday, February 13, 2025. This is a great honor for our chapter and continues to build our position as an emerging chapter in the Eastern Region of DECA.
Events like this rely on the generosity of time and talents. We know time is scarce but the talents are unlimited amongst our community. Regardless of your level of expertise or experience in business, be assured that you are qualified to help serve as a judge that day. We will provide on-the-job training.
As a judge, you will be housed in the gym at tables. Students present a pitch/solutions-based presentation on the case study they are given. Judges aske the prescribed questions. After the presentation judges complete a rubric.
