GREETINGS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Welcome to Atlanta and to the 80th DECA International Career Development Conference. This global event celebrates the culmination of your achievements this year and furthers your desire to become an emerging leader and entrepreneur in marketing, finance, hospitality and management.
We asked DECA members, advisors and business partners to GO THE EXTRA this year, and the response from the DECA community was outstanding. DECA achieved another record-breaking year with over 315,000 members in more than 4,490 chapters. We are proud to see DECA’s innovative education programs continue to bring more students and teachers into our organization than ever before. DECA’s Comprehensive Learning Program also garnered impressive participation this year. We would like to recognize and thank the chartered association advisors, chapter advisors and student leaders who helped drive over 225,000 members to participate in DECA’s Chapter Campaigns, Corporate Challenges, Educational Conferences, Emerging Leader Series, School-based Enterprises and Competitive Events Programs.
We also recognize our esteemed business partners who continued to provide invaluable support to DECA. For the second year in a row, all 60 of DECA’s competitive events are sponsored by our business partners, reinforcing the important role DECA has in developing the next generation of leaders.
Lastly, we commend you for being one of 26,000 DECA members to earn attendance at #DECAICDC. Your hard work has resulted in the opportunity to compete against the very best on DECA’s biggest stage. We challenge you to GO THE EXTRA while at ICDC and take every opportunity to experience all that Atlanta has to offer.
DECA is proud to be the premier Career and Technical Student Organization and that would not be possible without our members, advisors and business partners. Congratulations on your accomplishment this year, and we can’t wait to see how you will GO THE EXTRA at ICDC.
FRANK PETERSON, CAE DECA Inc. Executive Director

DECA extends its appreciation to the 1,000 Atlanta-area business professionals who are volunteering as competitive events judges, mentors and presenters at the conference. The conference would not be possible without you.
THANK YOU TO OUR EVENT DIRECTORS AND ASSISTANTS
The assistance of advisors is critical to the successful operation of the competitive events program, the election of officers, the emerging leader series and other functions. Briefings for event directors and assistants are scheduled throughout the conference and are necessary for the success of the programs. Advisors should consult their chartered association advisor for their assignment and report to the appropriate briefing session. DECA extends a special thank you to our advisors for their continued support of and dedication to DECA and its emerging leaders and entrepreneurs.
