Built by leaders.
Built for leaders.
Pennsylvania DECA is the chartered state association of DECA Inc., serving 8,600 CTE students across 116 chapters in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. We've been doing this since 1960.
DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.
Pennsylvania DECA brings that mission home — to twelve districts spanning the Commonwealth, from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, State College to Lehigh Valley. We are the network of advisors, alumni, sponsors, and student officers who keep DECA running across PA.
Our members compete at every level: district, state, and international. They run for office. They run businesses. They build the kind of skills that don't just look good on a resume — they prepare them for the real work of leadership.
