We challenged you to continue your success and #beDECAepic all this year, and once again you have taken DECA to new heights. Membership continues to break records, participation in the DECA Idea Challenge soared, certifications in DECA’s School-based Enterprises rose and #beDECAepic trended throughout the year.

PAUL A. WARDINSKI We are excited to welcome nearly 18,000 epic DECA members to Music City USA. Nashville @decapaw is the perfect location for our conference because it values hospitality, entrepreneurship, finance, marketing and management as much as DECA does. Like DECA’s own growth over the past years, Nashville has grown in popularity. With an increase in number of visitors for over 60 months straight, it is one of the premiere destination cities in the country. So much has changed since our last visit twelve years ago: a new convention center (The Music City Center), new hotels, a new minor league baseball stadium for the Nashville Sounds, and its own TV show on ABC. Just as exciting is how many classics remain: The Grand Ole Opry, the General Jackson, the Country Music Hall of Fame and many of the iconic restaurants in the downtown area. There is so much to do, and if you love live music, you will find all types everywhere, at all hours of the day. The DECA staff works hard to continually improve our programs and opportunities for all DECA members. DECA adjusts its competitive events to be sure members are using the current terminology and formats in business. You saw changes in the entrepreneurship events with the lean business model canvas. DECA strives to be at the forefront of industry trends as we continue to provide our members real world opportunities and authentic assessment. New talents that grow to become superstars are discovered in Nashville every year – now it is your turn to show your own epic talents and become discovered! You can say it all started in Nashville at the #DECAICDC! Congratulations on your path to get here and good luck! 2 GREETINGS FROM YOUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
