AFFILIATION MODEL
Let Program Funds Cover Your Dues
Available for each CareerTech-funded K-12 program.
Each high school DECA chapter can spend up to $400 per year toward student membership dues with program incentive funds (412 monies) - the equivalent of 20 members. Membership dues beyond 20 members are paid using local activity funds.
​
Advisor dues are separate from the affiliation fee. If a school has multiple funded advisors, each may use $400 from their program funds toward student membership dues. All funded programs may utilize the affiliation fee, including both 50% and 100% funded programs.
How to use it: add members to the membership site, select the affiliation option, then work with your school finance office to send payment to DECA. An invoice is generated after your members are fully submitted in the system.
