Washington DECA Leadership Badge
Earning the digital Leadership Badge is easy! Participate in conference activities and reflect on your learning. Choose from five different ways to earn your badge.
A badge is an indicator of accomplishment or skill that can be displayed, accessed, and verified online. Badges serve as a recognition for online learning and help aspiring professionals get their qualifications verified. These badges are digital credentials and can be earned in a wide variety of environments, an increasing number of which are online. After completion of the DECA Leadership Badge requirements, you will be awarded the digital badge and a certificate.
There are several professional platforms you can use to show your badge! Examples include: Resumé, email signatures, blogs and websites and LinkedIn.
