We had a packed house in studio, with four members of Wausau West
DECA stopping by Sunrise 7.

DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges across the globe.

DECA members become:
academically prepared for college and careers in marketing, finance, hospitality or management

community oriented by gaining an appreciation for the benefits of service and their potential impact on the community and world

professionally responsible with ethics, integrity and high standards

experienced leaders by practicing key leadership skills such as goal setting, consensus building and project management.

More than 185,000 DECA members are in 5,000 high school chapters in all 50 states and nine countries. Wisconsin ranks the third highest state with a little over 10,000 members.

They have a big canned food drive coming up on Halloween, where they're collecting non-perishable food items from the community to help out those who are less fortunate. For more information, you can check out their Facebook page: Wausau West DECA on Facebook
