What We Stand For
In 1946, the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) organized around an ambitious goal:  to improve educational and career opportunities in marketing, management and entrepreneurship for students.  In the years since, DECA has remained on the cutting edge of educational innovation, working with the business community to integrate academic achievement with career and technical skills.  Effective marketing education gives young people the tools and aptitudes they need to pursue their dreams.
