The New Hampshire DECA State Officer team for 2010-2011 will begin their first official conference of their term, as they participate in the New Hampshire Career and Technical Student Organization Training.  It is a great way for officers from all the CTSO clubs to get together and network, as well as learn organization and planning skills….and have fun too!

There will be about 48 students  in attendance….up in the wild north country!

Students will also make plans for CTSO Day and making contacts with state legislators…

This years North-South Eastern Conference will be November 12-14, 2010 in Washington D.C.  It will also be open to the Western Region chapters so it should be huge! Plan ahead for this great gathering of workshops, networking, and sightseeing in D.C. !!!

Last year the conference in Buffalo featured a workshop presented by the New Hampshire State Officer Team…. the plans for this year have not been finalized yet, but may also include workshops presented by State Officer teams…

Workshops will include training for leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing , career  planning, and plenty more…

The New Hampshire DECA State Officer Team will get together with officers of the other state career-tech orgs (FBLA, Skills USA, etc.) for two days of intensive leadership training and networking… in Gorham, NH.  Students will get the benefit of ideas shared with other New Hampshire student organizations.  It is a great opportunity to network and learn new leadership and teamwork skills.
