The Chaldean American Student Association (CASA) at Walled Lake Central High School invited Derek to guest speak on his professional background, community involvement, leadership, and advice on career opportunities. These students are an incredibly bright group who look to young and successful community leaders as role models.

Nancy Kattoula, sponsor of CASA and teacher at the high school said, “There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Derek Dickow for coming out to speak to the students of CASA at Walled Lake Central High School. It is amazing to have a young man with so much wisdom, humility, and success offer his time to be a positive voice for students. The students were hanging on his every word, and I have received messages nonstop about what a great event it was.”
