Host a Collegiate DECA Competition on Your Campus

Competitions are an important part of the Collegiate DECA year. Competitions provide members with the opportunity to network with their peers, local business leaders, and campus faculty and administrators while also demonstrating what students have learned in the classroom and through work experience. A campus competition offers an experiential learning activity for all current and prospective chapter members, while also preparing those members who wish to compete at association or regional conferences throughout the year. Ultimately they will be able to enhance their leadership skills and expand their global network while representing your college or university as a competition team at the Collegiate DECA International Career Development Conference.
