The Detroit Economic Club holds luncheon meetings and occasional morning and evening functions. We accept school reservations on a first come, first serve basis. We strongly recommend reservations be made at least one month in advance. The following are guidelines for schools who would like to participate in the Educational Outreach Program.
Attendees: We welcome junior and senior high school and college students and their chaperones or other persons traveling with students.
Table: We provide one table of 10 per school per event.
Chaperones: A faculty member or other person(s) will need to be with high school students at all times.
Attire: School uniforms or business-like attire is required. Jackets for the male students are preferred, although not required. No baseball hats, short skirts, jeans, or tennis shoes are allowed.
Tickets: Our generous corporate sponsors and members underwrite the $40 per person fee to allow students and their chaperones to attend meetings free of charge.
Time Commitment: Students need to
arrive at 11:00 a.m. and should remain seated at the luncheon
until the program concludes at 1:30 p.m.
Student Reception Students must be seated in the student reception promptly at 11:15 a.m. If late, students may not always be permitted in the student-only reception. Students must come prepared with questions to ask the speaker. Students will also be introduced to their sponsor at this time.
Transportation: Schools are responsible for transporting students to and from meetings. The DEC is not responsible or liable in any way, for any personal injury or property damage caused during the transportation to and from meetings. Each school is responsible for its own parking fees.
Facilities: DEC meetings are held in the tri-county area. Meeting locations and maps are listed on our website, www.econclub.org. The DEC is not responsible or liable in any way for any personal injury or property damage or loss that occurs at the meeting facility.
Photo Opportunity: The DEC will take a photo of the school group and the guest speaker at the end of the Student Reception. The photos are available on our website within 24 - 48 hours. You may download photos of your school for your use.
