Competition
Success
As in the global economy, a spark of competition drives DECA members to excel and improve their performance. DECA’s competitive events directly contribute to every student being college and career ready when they graduate from high school. The potential for travel, recognition and awards for learning classroom content through DECA’s competitive events is a tremendous motivator — not to mention the scholarships and cash awards recognizing DECA members for outstanding achievement.
The DECA Competitive Events Super Success System is designed to help chapters formulate a monthly competitive events preparation plan to take your members’ performance from good to great! Hopefully, DECA will see your selfies with a trophy on stage at your local, regional, association conferences and maybe even the International Career Development Conference!
