Dear Mississippi Collegiate DECA Members, 

As your State President, I want to extend a warm welcome to each of you as we embark on what will be an exciting and impactful year ahead! Whether you’re a returning member or new to DECA, you are part of a community that is dedicated to personal growth, professional development, and making a difference in our communities. 

This year, we have several goals that I am confident will strengthen our organization and    further develop your skills and opportunities. One of our key focuses will be expanding our membership. We know that DECA’s strength lies in its members, and with more engaged members, we can enhance our programs, competitions, and network. I encourage each of you to reach out to potential members in your schools and communities to share the benefits and value of being part of DECA. 

Strengthening your skills remains at the core of what DECA stands for. Through competitive events, workshops, and professional development sessions, you’ll have countless opportunities to grow your business knowledge, leadership abilities, and communication skills. Take advantage of every opportunity, and don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. Read more…
