DECA is a high school division of the international
association of Delta Epsilon Chi. Kids from across the
world studying and interested in marketing or business
participate in local competitions to compete for a spot 
in the International Career Development Conference.
Prizes in competitions include scholarships to Johnson
& Wales University. DECA will help students succeed in
becoming better, structured business people and teach
students important life skills and values. Visit the
national site, www.DECA.org, to learn more about DECA!
A bi-monthly flyer will be sent around to schools to inform students of what Delaware DECA is currently doing. The Delaware DECA officers want to connect with the chapters as much as possible and hope to accomplish this with your help!

Delaware DECA has all new officers this year and is
participating in some great community service projects.
From now until December 21, 2009 DECA is hosting a food
drive for non-perishable items that you can donate whichever
way possible to your school. The school that raises the most
items will be rewarded at the State Conference in February 2010.
Delaware DECA has teamed up with Delaware BPA for Charity Links,
part of our going green project. Students will buy recycled paper
strips (or links) for $1 to decorate. The school that raises the
most money will have a tree planted in their honor. The proceeds
will be donated to the Special Olympics on behalf of BPA and MDA,
the ALS division, on behalf of DECA. The strips will be linked
together and hung around the room at the Fall Leadership Conference.

One of our goals for this year is to increase chapter participation. Delaware’s brand new DECA officers
look forward to working with the different chapters and visiting schools to meet students and recruit new DECA members. As officers want to take a few minutes to chat with perspective members and explain what DECA is and how we plan to improve it this year.
We hope to have many new members in Delaware and help as many students advance to Nationals as possible! We hope everyone has a great year in DECA and tons of fun at the Summit and conferences. We look forward to working with Delaware DECA!
