The Northmont DECA Chapter competed at the DECA District 4 Fall Leadership Conference today. The chapter had 78 members compete, with a total of 56 members placing at the event. This event is designed to provide students with an opportunity to present their work in front of a judge before our conference in January, allowing them to attempt to qualify for our state DECA conference.

I think today was an excellent day for our chapter. We had students place in every event except one. I am very proud of all the students and very excited about what this could mean for our chapter this year. I have a feeling that this group of students will accomplish something special this year, and I am very eager to work with them and see what they will achieve. Eric Wagner - DECA Advisor
