Why your colleagues joined DECA.. • Lori Piotrowski-Lancaster “ I was a DECA member in high school and I gained more out of DECA than I did in my other classes. By participating in the conferences and working with other students I gained self confidence, made friends, while having a ton of fun
Lindsay Mandell-Plainview Old Bethpage I am a DECA advisor because seeing my students succeed and get interested in the business world generates excitement for everyone, the school, the students and the community.The hands on knowledge that your students will gain can never be measured
Rick Vine-Great Neck South • I became a DECA Advisor not just because students want to compete but because I want them to succeed and DECA provides the opportunity to meet success while learning about specialized areas of business
Alan Balsdon- Williamsville South When I watch my students come out of their shells and work with each other it is one of the best experiences an advisor can have. DECA helps to generate the enrollment in our business department and is the driving force behind students wanting to take our classes.
Why Students Join DECA • Keith-Oceanside HS- I love sports and DECA allows me to network with industry leaders • Caitlyn—Hamburg HS-I joined DECA because my sister was in DECA and I saw how involved she was and how she gave back to the community • Zack-Great Neck HS- DECA has opened so many doors for me I was able to get into the college of my choice and it was all because DECA allowed me to gain confidence in my presentations. • Ethan—Roy Ketcham- when I started HS I really had no clue what I wanted to do with my life, however, when I joined DECA it allowed me to see the many career choices available to me
