DECA Announces the 2025-2026 Membership Theme: Go The Extra

Mar 25, 2025

In 2025-2026, DECA challenges members to GO THE EXTRA.

As emerging leaders, you know that success is more than just meeting expectations—it’s about exceeding them. This year, we dare you to Go The Extra—the extra mile, the extra step, the extra level on the path to achieving your college and career goals.

Whether it’s competing in a new competitive event, working towards THRIVE LEVEL in chapter campaigns, going for GOLD certification with your SBE or developing new leadership skills, now is the time to push yourself and Go The Extra.

DECA's brand resource center will be updated with the 2025-2026 theme artwork once the 2024-2025 school year concludes.
