DECA Diamond Level Membership Campaign

DECA's 2010 "Expand Your Network" Membership Campaign

Beginning of School - November 12, 2010

DECA Week - October 10 - 16

Submission Deadline - December 1, 2010

DECA's annual Membership Campaign is designed to encourage local chapters to demonstrate to the school and community the value of participation in DECA. By doing this, the chapter can create goodwill with community leaders, school staff and administrators and, in the process, recruit new members.

Achieving the top level of the Membership Campaign means that the chapter has made an impression on the community and it means special recognition for the chapter at the International Career Development Conference where representatives of the chapter are invited to appear on stage.

Qualified Membership Campaign activities can happen at any time from the beginning of the school year through November 12th, 2010. Many activities, like "DECA Serve Day" occur during the special week set aside for all DECA chapters across the continent to celebrate DECA - DECA Week, October 10 - 16. That gives your chapter plenty of time to put your entry together for the December 1, 2010 submission deadline.

In order to achieve the Diamond Level, all Membership Campaign activities must be promotional in nature and therefore must include or be visible to people who are not current DECA members. Linked to this page, you will find list of standard activities that qualify for the Membership Campaign. You can choose to do some of these or think of your own activities. Following the standard activities list, you will find a few very creative ways that DECA chapters have participated in the campaign through the years.
