THE DECA CREED

    

I believe in the future which I am planning for myself in the field of marketing and management, and in the opportunities which my vocation offers.

    

I believe in fulfilling the highest measure of service to my vocation, my fellow beings, my country and my God--that by so doing, I will be rewarded with personal satisfaction and material wealth.

    

I believe in the democratic philosophies of private enterprise and competition and in the freedoms of this nation—that these philosophies allow for the fullest development of my individual abilities.

    

I believe that by doing my best to live according to these high principles, I will be of greater service both to myself and to mankind.
