Advisor Professional Development Conference
Across Washington state, educators are being asked to do more with less. As funding challenges grow, teachers remain the single most important factor in delivering meaningful, career-connected learning experiences to students. Washington DECA prepares over 17,000 high school students annually for careers in business management, marketing, finance, hospitality and entrepreneurship.
Our annual Fall Professional Development Conference equips the business and marketing educators with the tools, training and industry connection needed to bring real-world learning into their classrooms.
