2008-2009 Delta Epsilon Chi Officers

Stephen A. Hanson - Stephen is a resident of Ogden, Utah and junior at Weber State University. He began his DECA career as a high school student and continued his involvement in Delta Epsilon Chi to become the 2008-2009 national Delta Epsilon Chi President. From his DECA experience Stephen gained the confidence and know-how to start his own landscaping business and continues to operate it successfully managing a staff, marketing his services, and performing the tasks of customer service admirably. Stephen is working towards a degree in Sales Technology and legal studies, and when not busy with school and Delta Epsilon Chi, enjoys all of the outdoor activities that Utah has to offer. He and his wife Margie are expecting their first child this coming November.

Jamie Hillen - Jamie is a resident of Denver, Colorado and junior at Johnson & Wales University. She began her involvement with career and technical organizations as a member of FCCLA. Her efforts to become involved in all things leadership and learning lead her to discover Delta Epsilon Chi at Johnson & Wales where she served as chapter vice president and has now become the 2008-2009 Delta Epsilon Chi Western Region Vice President for Delta Epsilon Chi. At Johnson & Wales University Jamie is a student in the school of hospitality pursuing a degree in Food Service Management. Outside of school and Delta Epsilon Chi, Jamie is always involved in community service and giving back to her local community.

Samantha Desjarlais - Samantha is a resident of Pascoag, Rhode Island and a sophomore at Bryant University. She became involved with Delta Epsilon Chi as part of her efforts to build community on campus and now serves as the 2008-2009 Delta Epsilon Chi North Atlantic Region Vice president. In all aspects of her involvement, Samantha is a community builder. Whether it is engaging in activities with her sorority, or working with members of Rhode Island Delta Epsilon Chi to host social events, members gravitate toward her for her natural optimism and energy. Samantha is half way to completing a bachelors degree in business administration and hopes to use it one day to work for the marketing or human resource department at a children's hospital. When not engaged in school or Delta Epsilon Chi responsibilities, Samantha makes time for friends and family.
