Celebrate DECA Month

Catherine Horton | DECA High School Division President

To most people, November means pumpkin-flavored everything, falling leaves and cooler temperatures, but to DECA members November also means DECA Month! During November, you have the chance to engage in all of DECA’s next level opportunities and initiatives.

Here are the three ways to get yourself, your chapter and your association involved in #DECAMonth.

1. #DECAMonth Social Media Challenges

Get social and participate in DECA’s daily photo and video challenges. Show off your DECA pride each day by posting, tweeting and sharing your favorites. Make sure to tag @decainc and use the hashtag #DECAMonth for everyone to see your #NextLevel posts each day!

2. Chapter Campaigns

Chapters have the chance to participate in five campaigns this year, and four of them take place during DECA Month: Membership, Global Entrepreneurship Week, Promotional and Community Service. If your chapter hasn’t already started, there’s still time for some quick planning to put your ideas into action. Check out deca.org/campaigns for ideas and to learn more about each campaigns’ guidelines for the current year.

3. Conferences

Represent your association, expand your network and grow your leadership skills by logging on to DECA’s regional conferences. The DECA Power Experience (the virtual version of the Ultimate DECA Power Trip) will be occurring from November 2-20 and will feature on-demand content for career connections, college opportunities, competition preparation and chapter strategy. Western Region members will push the limits of innovation at the Western Region Leadership Conference. This year’s interactive WRLC will be held virtually from November 9-13 and will allow Western Region members to connect and innovate together.

November is packed full of DECA opportunities. Show off your social media skills in the #DECAMonth photo and video challenges. Take your chapter to the next level by participating in chapter campaigns. And represent your association and grow as an emerging leader by attending a virtual conference. Let’s all come together to make this November a DECA Month to remember!
