North Dakota DECA

Welcome to the North Dakota DECA state website. DECA is a leadership organization for students at the high school or college level with an interest in marketing, management and entrepreneurship. Programs exist in 20 of our high school and career and technology centers in the state. Ten colleges and universities have a Collegiate DECAChapter.

DECA at both the high school and college levels focus on leadership development, community service learning, career awareness and social responsibility. Members pay local, state and national dues to receive membership beneifts. Chapter members qualify to compete at the local, state, and national levels in career related competitive events.

North Dakota DECA took 1st place in the collegiate category of DECA's Extreme Makeover: Website Edition contest at the SAM Conference in August. The North Dakota DECA website earned the vote of excellence among the other states and we were awarded this badge for our site. A special thanks for the last minute help Jordon Lakoduk at Dotcomr provided.
