Wilmot DECA is a career and technical student organization that teaches students about leadership, teamwork, self-confidence, networking, and other skills needed to be successful in their future careers. DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. We are helping students to become more academically prepared, community-oriented, professionally responsible, and experienced leaders. Wilmot DECA encourages all members to participate in community service, social, leadership, and competitive events activities and educational opportunities.
Wilmot DECA students are members of Wisconsin’s state association and national DECA chapters. This allows our members to apply for travel and academic scholarships. Some of the activities we have planned for this year include:
-
Monthly meetings
-
Social events (bowling, pizza night, games, etc.)
-
Chapter fundraisers throughout the year
-
Community Service - “Trick or Can” in October, raising funds for MDA, visits to nursing homes, etc.
