Conference Judges

Volunteers! Plans are underway for the 2025 IN DECA State Career Development Conference. We are looking for judges to evaluate student projects and presentations for the competitive events. These events provide authentic learning situations related to current business practices and are designed to evaluate members’ knowledge and skills through an interactive component with you, an industry professional, serving as a judge. Judging will take place:

Written Entry Evaluation for Written Projects—February 3-9, 2025 (NOTE: Judges evaluting written projects online prior to the conference MUST also be available for the in-person date of March 3 to judge the oral presentations.)

Judging of all Role Plays and Presentations—March 3, 2025 (In person from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. ET)

Please complete the form below and select your specific event preferences. Once submitted you will be contacted by the Indiana DECA Judge Coordinator with additional information.

Thank you for volunteering your time to support our Indiana DECA students!
