Membership Theme: Next Big Thing
The "Next Big Thing" membership theme challenges DECA members to look beyond the present and take active ownership of shaping the future of business, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Rather than waiting for future trends to arrive, the campaign posits that the "next big thing" is already being created inside classrooms, chapters, and local communities by emerging leaders.
