the Jackpot of Success with DECA!' DECA Dues
If you were a member of DECA last year, your school name should already be listed under Louisiana. If you are a new
chapter or a chapter that is re-activating, you will need to click on link that asks if you are a new chapter advisor. Every
chapter advisor will enroll and set up a username and password. You'll type all your information and the information of
any additional advisors, your chapter members, your professional members, and your alumni members. Once finished, you can
pay with a credit card, or you can print out an invoice and mail it in with your check ($16 is total for state and national
dues--send all to national DECA). Dues should be sent in by November 1 to get the first issue of DECA Dimensions. To attend
the La. State CDC, you must have your dues paid by January 23. To read directions on how to complete online membership, go
