MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN
Just like in business, continued growth is one of the keys to success. DECA’s membership campaign is designed to help your chapter grow by making the DECA experience available to more student members, keeping alumni involved and engaging professional members such as administrators, teachers, parents and business partners. Recognition for the Membership Campaign will be determined based on your membership submitted in the online membership system.
PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN
This campaign provides chapter members an opportunity to share with their school and community what DECA is all about and how their chapter is making a positive impact on its members and community. Conduct three school outreach activities, three community outreach activities and share three alumni success stories to complete this campaign.
COMMUNITY SERVICE CAMPAIGN
DECA members are always finding unique ways to serve their community. Get recognized for your efforts through this campaign. It’s easy. Simply document one or more community service activities, be sure to have at least 75% of your members involved, and create at least one form of publicity or promotion.
ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN
This campaign takes place in February, during Career and Technical Education Month. Completing three school outreach activities, three public policymaker outreach activities and three community outreach activities will get your chapter recognized for this campaign. And your community will definitely know you are advocates of DECA and Career and Technical Education!
ADOPT A CHAPTER 2024-2025
Each chapter is assigned to work with a North Dakota Association Officer to work with throughout the year. Chapter president, officers, and the local advisor should work with the assigned officer to assist throughout the year.
