D.E.C.A.
An International Organization of High School Marketing Students
DECA is a co-curricular student organization designed to provide activities that will motivate students to acquire skills in the nine functions of marketing: selling, promotion, pricing, purchasing, risk management, financing, distribution, product and service planning, and information systems management. The focus is to develop an understanding and appreciation of marketing, merchandising, and business management. Chapter activities develop leadership skills, professional attitudes, business competency, better citizenship characteristics, and social growth of the individual. Members are provided with an opportunity to receive local, state or national recognition for acquired knowledge and competencies. Membership is open to any student enrolled in a marketing education related program.
