Collegiate DECA officers prepare for upcoming year

2011-08-04

Your Collegiate DECA officers are ready to share their plan for 2011-12 academic year with you. After compiling thoughts and ideas on how to strengthen the Collegiate DECA division, your national officers decided to focus on three major areas and develop a program of work to best benefit Collegiate DECA as a whole: Communication, the Collegiate Leadership Academy, and the International Career Development Conference. Having our first fifty years behind us and looking forward to the next fifty, we know we’re in a great place of transition. Our new name allows us to become more identifiable to high school DECA alumni, our new logo makes us more contemporary, and this year's theme, "Aspire Higher," well that encourages all of us to reach for things we never thought possible and push ourselves further than ever before.

We are extremely excited for what is to come this year as we look to build off our already great existing programs and our new up and coming programs. The virtual membership program allows the benefits of Collegiate DECA to become available to college and university students who do not currently have a chapter on their campus. The LOOP is an email newsletter that allows us to relay pertinent information straight to your email, of course this information is also available on our website, www.deca.org. We wish everyone the best of luck this year and we look forward to serving you to the best of our abilities!
