Changes

If you choose the first and most common option, which is to join or create a DECA chapter, it's basically like your creating a club on campus. Except in order to be official, and in order for you to compete in regional and global competitions, you have to register your Chapter(club) on the DECA organization's website, which is deca.org. After your club is registered with the organization, it's important that you get the necessary support from stakeholders at the school, like the President, Vice President, Provost, and your Student Government Association. This is really important to your chapter's success since for all competitive events and for your chapter's membership with the DECA organization, fees need to be paid. As you will see in the next few sections, there are many ways you can approach, speaking to these stakeholders and getting the necessary funding your events. In the next section, you'll actually get first-hand tips from a chapter leader, on how she ran her DECA chapter at her school and the obstacles and challenges that came along with that.
