Since 1946 DECA has filled the role of the premier
student organization preparing high school and college
students for careers in marketing, management and entrepreneurship.
Through DECA's program of activities, and our partnerships
with business and industry, our students develop academic,
leadership, communication, human relations, employability
and civic responsibility skills. DECA's activities and
partnerships focus on local, state, national and international
programs designed to encourage career exploration and
recognize student achievement.
DECA's Congressional Advisory
Board (CAB) is a bipartisan group of United States
Senators and Congressmen representing varied political
philosophies. They have one thing in common, a strong
interest in the youth of our country. CAB activities
include making public appearances at major DECA events,
hosting receptions for DECA groups, meeting with state
delegates, offering advice on special projects and more.
DECA is a 501-(C) (3) not for profit student organization
operating in all 50 United States, District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Canada, Mexico
and Germany. The United States Congress, Department
of Education and several states' departments of education
charter our program of activities.
