Chapter Campaigns
DECA offers five unique campaigns that will help you grow your chapter and build lasting partnerships within your school and community.
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.
Innovations + Entrepreneurship Campaign
Innovation and entrepreneurship are the driving forces behind today’s business success stories. This campaign gives DECA members the opportunity to explore the entrepreneurial spirit in their own community. Encourage innovation and entrepreneurship by conducting the innovations activity with at least 75% member participation, interviewing and creating detailed profiles of three local businesses and hosting a local entrepreneur as a guest speaker to share their journey and insights with your chapter.
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.
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!
