Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) is a professional level organization for high school students interested in marketing.

At this conference students can compete in individual or team events in their chosen marketing career area. Students that were awarded with the highest honors at the Lake Orion DECA conference will move on to the State Career Development Conference, which takes place in Detroit, MI in March 2014.
