California DECA

From the Executive Director:

Goodbye California DECA...

Saying goodbye is very hard as California DECA has been a part of my life for the last thirty years. I started my DECA career while in College at Western Michigan University, then a DECA advisor at Mission Bay High School in San Diego. Once I relocated at Cal Poly Pomona, I became a collegiate advisor, until taking over as state advisor fourteen years ago. Needless to say DECA has been a big part of my life.

California DECA, how can I every express my love and admiration. To every chapter member, state officer, alumni and advisor, thanks for all your help, support and friendship. You truly have made California DECA the very best, and it has been my pleasure to serve you.

In years past DECA was represented as a wrapped package in the center of the diamond. We now have a new emblem, but to me DECA will always be a wrapped package—a gift. Each one of you has this gift, and it comes with a responsibility. The responsibility is to unwrap this gift and use your DECA skills to help you follow your dream. Please share this gift with others as well. I wish you success in your future careers.
