C-NS DECA Meets the Challenge and has Regional Success

The 2020-2021 Regional DECA competition was held virtually throughout the month of December.  Region 9 DECA’s membership this year consisted of more than 200 students from seven high schools across Central New York along with North Syracuse Junior High School. The high schools competing this year included: Phoenix, Liverpool, Solvay, Central Square, East Syracuse-Minoa, Skaneateles, and Cicero-North Syracuse High School. 

Each year, the competition includes future marketing/management leaders’ events consisting of a 100-question college level marketing/management test. This year, because of social distancing requirements, students took the test online and performed/recorded an online role-play with a member of the business community.

This year's role-play requiremtns presented some unique challenges, with students only having limited access to the role-play online and then having limited time to generate solutions, videotape their responses, and upload videos for the judges. Students had limited access to presentation materials and were required to record their presentations while wearing business attire.
