How does DECA promote diversity and inclusion?

DECA promotes diversity and inclusion by encouraging participation from all high school demographics and providing resources to support all members. This approach ensures that students from various backgrounds have access to the opportunities DECA offers, fostering an environment where diverse perspectives and experiences are valued. By actively promoting engagement across different demographics, DECA works to create an inclusive community where all voices are heard and represented.

The value of inclusivity lies in its capacity to enrich the organization, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the business world that mirrors the diversity in society. In this way, DECA not only prepares members for careers in business but also cultivates skills necessary for collaboration in diverse teams, which is a critical attribute in today’s global workforce.
