The criteria and process used to select the team is determined by the individual school. The first 30 nominations received are accepted and any additional nominations are placed on a waiting list. School administrators return confirmation materials with payment arrangements for the conference registration, hotel reservations, and other requested documents for all team members. Four weeks prior to the conference, each team member receives the case materials to research and prepare their presentations. The regional programs are rotated to cities throughout the United States.
Participation is open to all minority students enrolled in an accredited graduate business program.
Nine thousand dollars is awarded to each of the three highest ranking teams. Minimal travel and lodging expenses are incurred because the programs are offered in locations closer to home for the students and judges. There are currently NO registration fees required for participation in the competitions. Tentatively, there will be two to three independent case competition events scheduled for 2001.
