ABP Final Preparations by EVP Laura

Post-holiday depression is not possible with our emerging competition season. We are coming to peak DECA season Florida DECA and this year is going to be better than ever! An important way to hype up your members for this season is through activities in your chapter. Team 60 created their ABP to have many activities that will achieve this and that ABP is due by February 5th!

There is a month left for the ABP and as this time is winding down I have a few suggestions:

1. If your chapter hasn’t already, make sure that you are providing the right evidence of completion for every activity you achieve. These specifications can be found on the “How to document participation” on every activity in the ABP.
2. TAKE PICTURES not just of the stage or big events but of the members reactions and involvement because it is all about the members.
3. Have the person in charge of the event/activity write it up in detail soon after. This helps the write up that you submit be more accurate and detailed.
4. Have other students and later advisors proof read every write up and fix any out of place visuals.
5. ASK QUESTIONS! Our DLC meetings are held for these types of questions that help your chapter and others. If you need an answer before our next meeting or do not want to ask at a meeting, I would love to answer them at laura@fldeca.org!

 
I’m sure your chapter has had a killer year so far and I cannot wait to hear all the amazing things your chapters have done. Remember that in the end we just want to see what your chapter can do and challenges ignite that healthy competition which causes growth. Remember states is only 2 months away so I’ll see you all very soon Florida DECA! <3
