WELCOME TO DECA!

Building a strong DECA chapter doesn’t happen by accident, but it also doesn’t have to be a mystery! Our dedicated team of staff and chartered association advisors are here to support you as you begin your journey as a DECA chapter advisor.

This New Advisor Resource Center will help new advisors establish your DECA chapter, connect you to those with answers to most of your questions, help you stay up-to-date with DECA opportunities, and facilitate member involvement, both inside and outside of your classroom.
