Sep 12, 2025

DECA proudly celebrates 20 years of partnership with Vector Marketing Corporation - a collaboration that has empowered DECA members and educators to succeed in and out of the classroom.

Since joining DECA’s National Advisory Board in 2004, Vector has been a steadfast supporter of DECA’s mission to prepare the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. Their commitment has been demonstrated through competitive event sponsorships, professional development programs, thought partnership and meaningful local connections with members and advisors.

Vector’s support provides students the opportunity to innovate, problem-solve, and pitch their ideas with confidence - skills that prepare them for future success.

“For two decades, Vector Marketing has helped DECA bring classroom learning to life. Their support has inspired members to think critically, present persuasively, and gain confidence as young professionals. This partnership exemplifies the power of business and education working together,” said Sarah Cozewith, DECA’s Chief Partnership Officer.

Beyond competition, Vector has impacted thousands of DECA members over the past 20 years through their interactive conference exhibits, by providing insightful career- and college-readiness content on DECA Inc. platforms and engaging in social media campaigns.

In recognition of this dedication, Vector was honored with DECA’s Marlene Morbitt-Dunn National Advisory Board Partner of the Year Award in 2017.

Vector Marketing’s development of young professionals aligns seamlessly with DECA’s focus on preparing its members for college and career success. Together, DECA and Vector have built a 20-year legacy of empowering students with communication skills and real-world experiences in leadership and entrepreneurship.

As we celebrate this milestone, DECA extends its gratitude to Vector Marketing Corporation for two decades of dedicated partnership. Here’s to creating even more opportunities and shaping the leaders of tomorrow—together.
