DECA students have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a variety of competitive events. They compete in either individual or team events consisting of role-plays. Local business and community leaders are needed as volunteers to judge the role-plays. DECA has over 20 events ranging from Marketing to Finance, something for every professional to apply their expertise as a judge. Judge training is provided prior to the events.
To run a successful conference, we need a lot of support. This includes helping student check-in, setting up and refreshing rooms, directing students to their events, coordinating judges/speakers and more. For those interested in helping out, please sign up below.
While our Board of Directors is currently at capacity, we are always looking for new talents and business professionals interested in joining our Board in the future. If you feel you would be a great addition to our team, please reach out through the 'Contact Us' link.
This year we are looking to support our local chapters and grow the participation of our alumni and professional supporters. Your membership will help grow the organization both locally and on a state level.
You can be vital to the organization once again as we look for new ways to keep the alumni engaged. One of the biggest ways is to support the upcoming students.
The cost for an alumni or professional is $30. Dues are valid from July 1 to June 30 each year. The ten dollars for National pays your membership dues to National Headquarters in Reston, VA. Ten dollars goes to your state dues and ten dollars goes to your local chapter of choice. The chapter will receive the $10 in support, the state portion becomes a credit for the chapter to use to attend the State or International Career Development Conferences. Portions not used are not rolled over but kept in the state coffers to improve our Fall CEO forum or State Career Development Conference. National portion is paid for your national dues.
