To the Collegiate DECA Community,
One year ago, we were entrusted with the honor and responsibility of becoming Collegiate DECA Executive Officers. Earning your trust to lead this division was just step one, and now, as we begin our final farewells to all of you, we want to thank you for the wonderful year behind us. Throughout this experience, you allowed us to try new things, promote big goals and visions, and lead initiatives that required major support from all of you. And through all of it, you trusted in our decision-making to do what was right for the brighter future of Collegiate DECA.
We sincerely thank every member who has gone above and beyond to help grow our division and share what makes Collegiate DECA so impactful. With chapters active on over 200 college campuses this year, our chapter and association leaders have launched meaningful initiatives that welcomed new members and expanded our reach. Because of your dedication, countless new stories have begun, and more students than ever are now part of our thriving division. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed, and our team and the entire DECA community appreciate your dedication to opening the doors for future division leaders.
Congratulations on an incredible achievement to the 52 of you who brought Collegiate DECA to your campuses this year. Starting or reactivating a chapter is no small task, and for those we’ve had the privilege of working with throughout the year, your dedication has exceeded expectations. You've set a new standard for what’s possible. We’re truly grateful for your commitment to expanding our division, and we can’t wait to see how your members continue to grow, thrive and lead in the year ahead - and beyond.
A special thank you goes out to the wonderful DECA Inc. staff who have assisted us in accomplishing our goals and ambitions throughout our term. We cannot emphasize the importance of all of the hard-working and dedicated staff that make our program, division and organization possible. Thank you, in particular, to Mrs. Debbie Taylor for being such a great leader and influence for us this year. We couldn’t have done this without you.
This year has truly been one to remember. We are incredibly grateful for your time, dedication and unwavering efforts in helping our division thrive. Your contributions have made a lasting impact, and we can’t wait to see how Collegiate DECA continues to grow and evolve in the years ahead.
This is your 2024-2025 Collegiate DECA Executive Officer team signing off.
