What is Next Generation Business Network?

Hi! I’m Ethan, a high school DECA competitor who went from not even qualifying one year to winning at the New York State competition the next. I’ve learned a ton through failure, feedback, and late-night prep—and I’m sharing everything I’ve picked up so other students can level up their own DECA journey.

I hope to see you all at ICDC this year. If you’ve placed at ICDC or won your event and want to be featured in a video to help others succeed, send me an email—I’d love to hear your story and share it with the network!
