When famed automobile racer Bobby Unser said “success is where preparation and opportunity meet” he might as well have been speaking about DECA. This year’s theme, Ready For It, is about YOU and truly embodies the purpose of this great organization: empowering you with a dynamic, flexible toolkit to be successful in a myriad of career paths. Through networking in DECA’s exciting, enriching educational conferences, competing in our rigorous competitive events program, and serving as a chapter or association leader, you set yourself miles ahead of your peers and prepare yourself for a future of endless possibility. Throughout this year, the Executive Officer Team challenges you to take your DECA experience to new heights. Here are a few ways that you can become #ReadyForIt this year: •
Set your sights on Orlando, Florida and the 2019 International Career Development Conference by beginning to study and prepare now.
•
Become active in DECA’s Twitter and Instagram space and network with some of the world’s most driven and passionate high school leaders and entrepreneurs.
•
Expand your DECA leadership experience by running for a chapter or association officer position.
Keep us up-to-date on social media with your accomplishments and activities by using #ReadyForIt and tagging @DECAInc and your executive officers. Orlando is ready. We are ready. The question is...are you #ReadyForIt?
