ABP Completion by VP Chad

Hey Florida DECA! The annual business plan will be here before you know it, so here are a few tips to help you ensure success. First, create a central location to store all pictures for the ABP. This will help when it comes time to create your document. You won’t have to chase down individuals to get pictures you need. I would also encourage you to start all of your written descriptions now, as these take a great amount of time and require extensive detail. Create a chapter checklist that informs members and officers about the progress of the annual business plan. Check off things as you complete them so you are up to speed on what needs to get done. Get in touch with business professionals sooner than later as this is a courtesy to them. Don’t wait to make contact as they may not be able to come out in the time frame given. And finally, do not procrastinate. The annual business plan is a very involved process and takes much time to complete. I would recommend starting it now! Good luck, and reach out with any questions – chad@fldeca.org
