Congratulations Nick!

Minnesota DECA is home to the newly elected 2009-2010 Central Region Vice President, Nick Gerken, from Lakeville South HS! Thank you to all his campaign workers, those that volunteered at his booth and worked hard throughout the conference to support him and make this happen. A member does not get elected without a great deal of support and people working hard. It is an incredible resource to our state to have a National Officer!

Calling all Seniors...

Did you know you can continue DECA in college? Delta Epsilon Chi is the college division of DECA. You’ll get the same wonderful experiences, but at a college level. From experience, I can tell you this is your best opportunity to prepare and get your foot in the door for a rewarding career. High school DECA gave you the basic skills and now Delta Epsilon Chi can build on those by providing more in depth skills and putting you face to face with companies looking to hire you. These companies know how DEX prepares you and want to bring those skills into their workplace. This will be one of your best decisions to get a leg up to get into a career after graduation.
