First, I would like to welcome all new members,
returning members, advisors, and alumni to another
fantastic year of WMMA/Delta Epsilon
Chi! This year will be filled with
opportunities to develop professionally, network,
compete, travel, and meet students all across Wisconsin
who share the same interests and career goals as you.
Students in WMMA/Delta Epsilon Chi
really are today's students that are tomorrow's
leaders. This organization not only enhances what you
learn in the classroom, but also what business
professionals want you to know for the 'real world.'
I'm very privileged to be working with an incredible State Officer team this year. We have all been working hard to ensure that this year is great for all of our members. The website is up and running, and there will be new information streaming in on a weekly basis.
Mark your calendars everyone, because the 2009 Fall Leadership Conference is quickly approaching! This year's conference will be October 27th-28th at Hotel Sierra, in beautiful Green Bay WI! As the kickoff to our WMMA year, you have the opportunity to attend workshops presented by Leadership Specialists, Keynote Speakers, and WMMA State Officers, network with WMMA chapters and other Career Technical Student Organizations, and have a blast during our latest and greatest entertainment night—the "Olympiad 2." Also, at Fall Leadership Conference, we will be unveiling a brand new event that will be taking place at the State Career Development Conference in March. Be sure to register before October 5th—you won't want to miss this!
If you haven't already, I'm sure your chapter will be having its first meeting of the year within the upcoming weeks. Now is the time to recruit new students to attend your meetings and events. Although recruiting new members can sometimes be a challenge, our newest post on the WMMA website "Top 32 Ways to Recruit Members," jumpstarts your recruiting process with some great ideas for your chapter to try. If you would like to share ideas that worked for your chapter in the past, or have already worked this year, please feel free to e-mail me, and we'll get those ideas up on the website as well.
After your chapter has found its potential members, share with them all of the great opportunities you've had while being a part of WMMA/Delta Epsilon Chi, and inform them of the great events they can be a part of this year (Fall Leadership, Collegiate Leadership Academy, ICDC, etc.). All in all, continue to accomplish the four points of the DECA diamond during chapter activities and you will be off to a great start this year.
Finally, I'm hoping all of you will continue to Live, Learn, and Lead to our fullest potential with WMMA/Delta Epsilon Chi this year!
