In its most basic form, DECA is a club where students from all over the world compete in different events that encompass the various aspects of running a business. Here at W.T. Clarke DECA, the events take form in written papers, roleplay simulations, and digital presentations. This might make you feel intimidated or uninterested, but DECA is so much more than just a business club. Its impact goes far beyond your ability to compete. Our chapter consists of like-minded and highly motivated students who work hard to improve not only their business skills, but also their public speaking abilities, networking skills, and sense of community. Not to mention, we create many memories at our regional, state, and international competitions. Whether you’re a freshman or a veteran, a two-time ICDC competitor or a senior who wants to try something new: DECA is for you. DECA is for every student, studying any subject. Get ready as a new year of DECA begins!
