Let's THRIVE! by President Kasey

How’s it going Florida DECA?,

As we all know, this year’s national theme is Thrive!, but team 53 and I put a little Florida DECA spin on it and we came up with this year’s state theme as; “Do more than survive, THRIVE!” This theme means doing more than just what is expected of you, more than just the bare minimum. This year, do more than just that, THRIVE in the DECA community, THRIVE in your own communities, and of course, THRIVE in your own lives. Thriving is something each and every one of you can do if you set your minds to it.

A few key elements to thriving in the next DECA year are to always be prepared, don’t stop believing in yourself and others, teamwork is key, work hard, and last but not least; have fun!

I can’t wait to see you all at the upcoming Florida Leadership Training Conference in Orlando, Florida! Here is a great place to begin your DECA year and also to begin to do more than survive, but THRIVE!

Sincerely,
Kasey Kupcik
Florida DECA President
