Happy Holidays from Nevada DECA
Nevada DECA Lived It! at WRLC 2009 in Reno!
Reno, NV—Over 100 Nevada DECA members headed to Reno for the Western Region Leadership Conference (WRLC) November 12-14, 2009 and had a blast! As the hosting state this year Nevada DECA had the most number of students attend WRLC in state history. During the three day conference members had the opportunity to Lead It! at workshops presented by national leaders in industry including some of DECA’s leading partners, Learn It! at the DECA University training program, and Explore It! in visits to local businesses. An exciting first day included the Open It! General Session with keynote speaker Kelly Barnes along with Name That Tune Tournament. The second day featured the Leadership Village, workshops, and evening session that featured the Battle of the Bands finals and Quiz Bowl finals on stage, as well as a hypnosis show with Patrick Grady. During the third and final day of WRLC members attended the DECA University program and competed in role plays and testing. The dance was also on the last day before members departed Reno. The Close It! General Session keynote speaker, Keith Hawkins, was a highlight of the event for many students. “Keith Hawkins gave the most memorable keynote speech I’ve ever heard. He showed members that they could achieve what they dream and that the influences from their parents are most valuable.” said state secretary Chao Huang. WRLC was an amazing conference and the state officer team hope to see everyone at the State Career Development Conference in February!

We received a considerable donation of women’s professional clothes for DECA and FBLA members. In order to distribute them to members in need, the DECA Southern Nevada Vice President, Antares Vargas put together a website for students to select items. Natalie Pinkney, FBLA Southern Region VP, assisted in getting the clothes sorted, sized and photographed.
