St. Philip's College, San Antonio at Fall Leadership Conference

I joined Delta Epsilon Chi in the spring of 1989 at St Philip’s College in San Antonio. The professionalism and encouragement from the local and state organization helped me develop my abilities to succeed in the areas of hotel, food and beverage operations. I participated in the Texas DEX State Career Development Conference and placed FIRST in the Hotel Management and Marketing event. During the years our club had the privilege to attend Leadership Development Conferences and Career Conferences. After winning my third consecutive Texas competition, I was off to Denver for National CDC. I worked hard and with the help of other members and our advisor, I placed sixth in the nation in the Hotel Management and Marketing event.

In my career, I was offered a position by one of the National DEX sponsors, Mrs. Field’s Cookies. Later, I became a manager for Souper Salad, Inc. With them, I quickly became the National Training Coordinator in charge of new store openings and was responsible for the training of all staff members in over 44 stores across the nation. I advanced into positions of Special Project Manager, Certified Computer Training Specialist, Product Research and Development Specialist, and Corporate Chef. I am most proud of preparing the winning entry for Peoples Choice Award at the "2001 Taste of San Antonio Competition". I found a sample essay, possibly better custom papers,- thanks.

Since leaving Souper Salad in 2002, I have combined two passions of mine, motorcycle riding and food and beverage operations. With a few friends, I now own and operate the IRON AMARADILLO SALOON, the premier biker bar in San Antonio. All of this would not have been possible without the strength, professionalism, encouragement and knowledge gained from my involvement with DEX.

I joined Delta Epsilon Chi in 1997 at Temple College. I participated in several state Leadership Conferences and Competitions. In my final semester at Temple College I wanted to apply to the University of Texas School of Business in Austin. When I inquired about admission to the school, I was told I was just short of the minimum GPA to be accepted, I had a 3.65 instead of the 3.8 required.

During that last semester, I participated in the State Career Development Conference and placed first in the Sales Promotion Plan event. I then attended the International Conference where I placed FIRST in the nation in the event.

Upon my return from the International Conference, I went ahead and applied to the UT School of Business. They called and told me that they were making an exception to the GPA minimum, and I would be admitted due to my success at the DEX Conference. They said, "You are JUST the kind of student we are looking for and want in our program". I have now graduated from UT with a BBA, and continue to serve as a volunteer judge and advisor for DEX. I am a co-owner of a successful sporting goods business and shooting range in Temple. offshore uk

I joined DEX in the spring of 2001 while attending St. Phillip’s College. I competed in three International Career Development Conferences. In Anaheim, my group placed 4^th in the nation in the E-Commerce competition. The next year in Salt Lake City, I competed in the Marketing Management Institute where my group placed 2^nd in the nation. The time in DEX was a great experience for me. It gave me a chance to compete on a mental level by using my mind and not my muscles. I was also chapter president and vice-president for the state of Texas. What got me involved in DEX ? One day my instructor, Candy Berkley asked me to stop by her office after class and she told me all about the club and its benefits.

I work for the Drury Hotels Corp., which is a family owned corporation. I have been with this family for 5 ½ years. I currently hold a Front Desk Supervisor position for two hotels in San Antonio, the Drury Inn and Hampton Inn Northeast. I supervise nine staff members. I have received the San Antonio Hotel Association’s "Rising Star" award, have received several scholarship awards from them and have twice been the speaker at their education luncheon.

Being in DEX has helped me challenge myself to be the best employee and individual that I can. Also it has given me the strength to motivate myself and pursue my goals in the industry. My goal is to be a General Manager of a hotel. That is why I thank DEX and my advisor and close friend Candy Berkley for providing me these opportunities.

I was fortunate to join Delta Epsilon Chi in 1998 while attending Houston Community College Central. This organization exceeded my expectations! Meeting the challenges at the competitions gave me such a blast of self-confidence and also laid a foundation for success in my education and career. The first year, I participated in the Fashion Merchandising Promotion Plan and MDM-Organizing competitions. I placed second in these two events.

The members of Texas Delta Epsilon Chi were so helpful and we quickly bonded with members from other colleges across the state and nation, always looking forward to competitions each year as well as networking.

In 1999 I competed in Merchandising-Management Decision Making and MDM-Organizing placing second in these two events and went on to national competition where I was a finalist. It was incredible! The excitement and synergy of all the colleges in one huge auditorium was unbelievable! Having your name called amongst all these schools would make anyone feel proud to just walk across the stage, and indeed I was!

I kept competing each year; it was in my blood! In 2001 I was voted to serve as the Texas State President which was a high honor for me to wave the Texas Flag across the stage in Anaheim, California! I also placed 3rd in the nation that year in an E-commerce Management Institute competition.

I am presently working for the Dean of Social Sciences at Rice University in Houston, Texas where I am utilizing my knowledge and experience in organizing and management decision making from the competitions.

I recommend Delta Epsilon Chi to every student that would like a challenge and knows the value of networking and wants to succeed in their career in marketing and merchandising.
