EXPERIENCE 215 | Igniting Passion for Business through DECA with Edward Rinehart - Graduating Senior at Rocky Mountain High School and Future Business Leader
Manage episode 476614527 series 3357362
I met Edward Rinehart at my Rotary Club, where he was sharing his journey with DECA - Distributive Education Clubs of America - an organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management through educational programs and competitions. Colorado had 9,000 participants in DECA programs in 2024, with the top competitors advancing through District Competitions to State and International.
Edward has been involved in DECA all four years of his high school journey, made it all the way to International his Freshman year, and has served on the Leadership Team ever since. He won the State Competition in Entrepreneurship this February - and we’re wishing him luck at Internationals in May!
This is a different journey than most of our LoCo Experience episodes - just getting started. But I learned a lot, and enjoyed a wonderful conversation - and you will too! So especially if you’ve got kiddos still in school, or grandkids going to high school soon - or if you might want to be a volunteer judge for the District or State competitions - I hope you’ll tune in and enjoy my conversation with Edward Rinehart.
