​Hi.
          I know that’s a really basic way to start a conversation, but it means a lot. It’s just the very beginning and you have no idea what’s going to come after it. Team 59 is the same way. We’ve just started our term and our bonding together so that we can do the best we can for you, and there is so much we hope to accomplish this year for you Florida DECA.

You all are why I’m doing this. I love to help people and think it’s the best feeling in the world to see someone smile because of something you did. So by the end of this year, I want to see every member smiling because of what Team 59 did. If there’s anything in particular that you’d want to see, feel free to email me at matthew@fldeca.org.

          I truly want this year to be the best year possible and I’m counting on all of you for that. Without all of your energy and passion for DECA, it won’t be possible. So there’s a pretty simple deal we can have. I’ll give this organization my heart and soul to make it the best it can be, and you’ll never lose your enthusiasm and motivation for DECA. I think that’s a pretty good way for Team 59 to start off an EPIC year. Right?
