Connecting to Business with DECA’s National Advisory Board (NAB). The NAB is comprised of 60 major corporations, foundations, universities and associations that provide recommendations, advice and support to the DECA Inc. Board of Directors, staff and advisors. In addition to sponsoring their own projects with DECA, NAB companies work together to provide advice to DECA on a variety of issues such as strategic planning, skill standards for DECA programs and competitive events as well as professional development.
The National Advisory Board is always looking at ways to connect locally with chapters that include, but not limited to:
- Employment/internship opportunities
- Helping members prepare for competition
- Hosting events on college/university campuses
- Job shadowing
- Mentoring
- Providing classroom visits/presentations
