With great speakers, including Eddie Slowikowski and Todd Gehrman, students were definitely motivated and inspired!

A new record of 600-plus DECA  members attended the Fall Leadership Conference at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, New Hampshire today.

A great welcome from the 2012 State Officer Team was followed by a rousing warm up segment by Todd from FOCUS Training, and things were well underway as Eddie Slowikowski had everyone under his spell in the keynote presentation.

Thanks to Plymouth State University and Bob Nadeau, as well as the crew from Men’s Wearhouse for two terrific workshops on presentation skills and dress for success and interview tips.

Special thanks to our DECA Advisors for bringing their students to the conference, and Extra Special thanks to Ashley Liadis who led the Southern NH University event planning team and made everything happen!

We are looking forward to the best DECA year ever with Officer Team 55 and the largest membership since New Hampshire DECA began over half a century ago!  P.S.  Don’t forget the DECA Week activities yet to come…and once again, Central won the pumpkin contest (fourth time in a row? Will nobody stop this juggernaut? )

Mike Barbetta, former member of Milford’s DECA chapter and also a member of the NH DECA State Officer Team in 1996-1997 has passed away in Florida.  He was only 31 years old.  Mike was an attorney in Florida, working with the Law Office of the Regional Counsel in Pinellas County.  He had attended Stetson University College of Law, and St. Joseph’s College in Maine.  We remember Mike as a hard working and enthusiastic DECA member, and a dedicated leader for our state DECA organization in the mid-nineties.  He was warm and friendly, and always had a smile on his face.  We send our deepest sympathies and best wishes to his family and friends.  Obituary:  http://www.tampabay.com/news/obituaries/big-mike-was-well-known-around-pinellas-courthouse/1197589
