The team included members MarkAnthony Brown (Entertainment 业务), Raven-Ariel Jackson (Entertainment 业务), 迪伦 Schimka, (体育 Marketing & 媒体) Matt Goginsky (Entertainment 业务), and Kristen Terrell (Entertainment 业务), all of whom placed in the Top 10 or above in one or more categories.

For the second year in a row, state champions MarkAnthony and Raven-Ariel – both of whom competed at the 国际 Conference in Washington, D.C last spring – placed first in the 业务-to-业务 Marketing team event. 迪伦, who has experience competing at the high school level in his home state of Illinois, placed second in the Advertising Campaign competition.

The students also placed in the Top 10 in Marketing Management (Matt) and in the 国际 Marketing (MarkAnthony and Matt) and 体育 & Entertainment Marketing (迪伦 and Kristen) team events.

And the accolades didn’t end there. At the awards banquet, Raven-Ariel was named a Top 3 finalist for DECA’s Outstanding Student Award, and Mark-Anthony was sworn in as the organization’s new state Vice President. Additionally, the 满帆 University Chapter brought home a Membership Increase Award.

杰基Otero, who helped launch the school’s chapter less than two years ago, was delighted by the results. “满帆 is a bit like the ‘little chapter that could.’ We are small but fierce.” As the current campus DECA sponsor and a longtime DECA supporter, Jackie lauds the uplifting spirit of the organization.

“It’s a very positive and professional environment. While the judges are there to critique and score the students, they’re also interested in meeting future entrepreneurs and leaders.”
