DECA Project Spotlight
Addison Dorris is the project manager for our Career Development Project Management Event. The focus of her project is developing a class for high school juniors and seniors that will teach life skills including money management, automobile maintenance, household maintenance, social skills, career and job exploration, etc. Last week Addison presented her idea and the curriculum she developed to members of our faculty, and she was met with an overwhelmingly positive response.
Alanna Herrington is the researcher for our Business Services Operations Event. Her project revolves around increasing online brand presence and reputation for Ms. Allen's online business. For her project she has collected primary and secondary research, analyzed the data, drawn conclusions, and created recommendations to elevate the digital marketing strategy of Ms. Allen's business. A large portion of her research has been devoted to third party social media scheduling and analytics management tools. Through this experience she has gained a first-hand look at how to convert online traffic to sales.
We are so proud of all of our Honors Marketing projects!
