John Stiles, Western Region Vice President
John Stiles, 2009–2010 Western Region Vice President, is from Bozeman, Montana. He has showed his dedication and enthusiasm for DECA throughout his participation in the organization. He has increased financial support, membership, and community service projects for his local chapter.
His DECA journey began two years ago as a junior at Bozeman Senior High School. Not knowing what DECA was or what it had to offer, he was unsure of what skills and knowledge it could provide to him. He has since better developed as a leader, student, and community member. John held a statewide office, which pushed him into the national circuit. Running for national office taught him a lot about communication, public speaking, and membership interaction. He is blessed and honored to represent such a great group of young adults as dedicated to their own lives and future, as he is.
John has accepted admission to Montana State University, where he will pursue a degree in Business and Marketing. Voted "Most Likely to become President of the United States," John shows the integrity and leadership tools needed to make the dreams of DECA become a reality.
As the year is quickly getting under way, the national theme has been set as "Live, Learn, Lead!" John is excited to communicate and network with the Western Region, to lead DECA to its best year yet. John believes in the opportunities that lie ahead. He has confidence and excitement for the program of work that team 64 will be producing soon. John hopes to make all DECA members proud and enthusiastic for the coming year!

Ryan Dyck, National President
Your National DECA President, Ryan Dyck, is from Dakota Ridge High School in Littleton, Colorado. Although the majority of his DECA experience was in Colorado, he was first introduced to DECA at Clinton Technical School in Clinton, Missouri. Through serving two different state associations of DECA, Ryan has been able to develop a sense of unity for all state/provincial associations of DECA. It has reassured him that he can proudly represent not only the great states of Missouri and Colorado, but every other state and province of DECA as well by serving as your National President.
During Ryan's sophomore year, he moved from Missouri to Colorado where he joined his new, much smaller chapter at Dakota Ridge. He was then elected as the Chapter President, where he assisted in doubling membership. The following year, he ran a successful State Officer campaign, earning himself a position on the 2008–2009 Colorado DECA State Officer Team. Throughout Ryan's term as Colorado DECA’s State Secretary, he has also balanced two part time jobs and earned a spot on the varsity track team.
To make sure he can devote this coming year entirely to DECA, Ryan will defer a year of admission from Johnson & Wales University at Denver where he will pursue degrees in International Business and Marketing.
After serving as an officer to the local chapter and state level of DECA, Ryan is excited and eager to have the opportunity to serve and devote his leadership to the national level of DECA.
