Welcome to beautiful, warm and sunny Florida. Orlando is so welcoming to our members and there are so many activities to do as part of the overall conference experience. This city is a great site for you to celebrate your many achievements, test your skills, and network with over 1,500 members and business partners from around the globe.

This year’s ICDC can best be described with two words: innovation and opportunity. DECA’s new partnerships with Disney® and Universal Studios® will offer interactive leadership and team-building programs to this year’s conference.

For the first time in history, ICDC competitors have an opportunity to receive recognized industry certifications. With a score of 70% or higher on the Hospitality and Tourism Exam, members can apply their score toward two certifications through a new partnership with the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI). DECA is working hard to continually improve our programs and opportunities for you, the members.

DECA members, advisors and business partners embraced the I AM DECA theme by sharing their DECA stories through chapter meetings and activities, business and community presentations, scholarship applications and social media. For example, we have around 10,000 Instagram photos posted using #IAMDECA. Let’s keep that number growing this week as we celebrate the end of an amazing year.

I encourage you to take advantage of the incredible opportunities you have during this ICDC, and continue to add new adventures and experiences to your I AM DECA story.

Congratulations on your path to get here and good luck!

WELCOMEFROM YOUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

As an accomplished business executive, Roger Glenn has exemplified DECA’s connection to business as a valued member of DECA’s National Advisory Board (NAB) and NAB Executive Committee for nearly two decades. During that time, Roger has led the partnership between DECA and two major national brands, Safeway and Gordman’s. Both partnerships ensure DECA members are prepared for college and career and sponsor DECA Inc.’s competitive events and scholarship programs. Roger served as the NAB chair from 2011 to 2014.

A hallmark of Roger’s service to DECA is his passion for the organization. Watching him talk to key stakeholders and potential partners to ensure they capture the vision of DECA is exciting. Roger is masterful in helping existing and potential partners realize how partnering with DECA will ultimately benefit them while providing amazing experiences for students. Roger has worked tirelessly for many years to build partnerships between DECA and corporations around the country and has personally contributed to the growth and strength of DECA’s National Advisory Board through his many years of dedicated service. His leadership helped reshape the purpose and operation of the National Advisory Board. Roger has been an invaluable partner in creating the vision for DECA.

In addition to his contributions to DECA through his promotion and advocacy efforts on the National Advisory Board, Roger still makes it a priority to volunteer as a judge at both the California DECA Career Development Conference and the International Career Development Conference as well as speak to school administrators about the benefits of engagement with DECA. An outstanding champion for our members, he works hard to ensure they have the best possible experiences.

DECA commends Roger Glenn’s advocacy, commitment and visionary leadership to DECA. Honorary Life Membership is a fitting testament to his dedication.
