What is the function of the DECA Alumni Association?

The DECA Alumni Association serves a vital role in fostering a lifelong connection between former members and the organization. By supporting alumni, the association ensures that those who have previously participated in DECA continue to engage with its mission and activities. This involvement can take many forms, including networking opportunities, mentorship for current members, and participation in DECA-related events. Connecting past members to the current landscape of DECA not only benefits the alumni but also enriches the overall experience for current students by bringing in their insights and experiences.

While preparing new members for competitions, providing scholarships, and hosting events might be vital activities within DECA, they do not encapsulate the primary mission of the Alumni Association, which focuses specifically on promoting continuous engagement and support for former members.
