We hear over and over about companies that have spent when they shouldn't and then get bailed out from the government, but still find the money to give big bonuses. Where is the DECA bailout?
Each year we travel to conferences with student, the future of our country, but we continue to hear things like, "you need to fundraise," or, "we just can't help you pay for that this year." So we look for new ways to raise funds while being given more guidelines and more restrictions when it comes to what we can and cannot sell.
I'm sure that I am preaching to the choir, but I just wanted to get this off my chest. What do you have to add???

Hey there Richard - Yes it would be great if there were a DECA Bailout! As more students get excited and commit to competing at the State and International levels, the cost of travel, competitive materials, prep materials becomes more expensive... and many times the students are so busy that typical fundraising just doesn't get done.
Could we get some of our strong DECA kids to go to their legislators and push for some changes? Thoughts?
