DECA State Career Development Conference!
/For the main event of our chapter’s inaugural year, 7 IMPACT students traveled to Santa Clara to attend the California DECA State Career Development Conference (SCDC) where they competed against more than 2,000 students in areas of Entrepreneurship, Marketing, and Business. Outside of competitions there were workshops, keynotes presentations, state officer elections, and general member sessions.

More than competition, the conference was a chance to meet and network with driven and motivated students from all over the state. The chance to travel and spend time outside of their comfort zones gave students new perspectives and outlooks as they build skillsets that will carry on into the world of college and careers.
This wraps up the main competitive portion of our year. From here, the IMPACT DECA chapter will begin officer selection and development for next year along with planning for the many upcoming events and competitions.
