The Community Service Award is designed to recognize Collegiate DECA chapters for civic activities performed in their community. The activity may include any community service or civic activity the chapter completes during the current school year. In addition to campus-based chapters, individual members are also eligible for this award.
You will submit each community service project as an article for decadirect.org. You are encouraged to use the outline below when writing your articles, which must be at least 400 words in length. If you have questions on article format, please refer to decadirect.org for examples. A picture is also recommended for each article.

2. Brief Summary of Activity
3. Marketing Strategies Used
4. Chapter Evaluation of Activity
Please title articles in the format ChapterNameCSA1.docx, ChapterNameCSA2.docx and so on for each article turned in.
