I've been a part of DECA for 2 years now, and it's always felt like a family. My favorite DECA memory is when everyone was at State last year. After the competitive events had finished, we all hung out in the lounge at the hotel. In that moment it didn't matter which chapter people were from or even who won. I was just happy to be there with everyone. Calla Shosh, Natrona County High School

I joined DECA after I was invited by some older friends of mine. Little did I know that attending that first DECA meeting would lead to a host of new experiences and skills. My participation in DECA has fast-tracked my professional development and leadership, which I will be forever thankful for. Further, I have been able to meet so many amazing people through DECA. I can’t stress enough how amazing my time in the organization has been and I will forever recommend DECA to everyone. Collin Krueger, Laramie High School

I joined DECA as a freshman solely for the reason that I could be able to travel to cool locations for Nationals. Throughout my years in DECA though, I have developed a sense of pride for the community surrounding it and I have become very invested in the club. I have picked up a lot of skills that I didn't think I would ever need. In my four years I have progressed from a brand new DECA recruit to leading my own chapter as the president and I have fallen in love with it. Devin Clyde, Campbell County High School
