The 2025-2026 High School Division Executive Officer Team is excited to introduce our Program of Leadership. We can’t wait to help members Go The Extra through advocacy, communications and membership engagement.
Advocacy
Advocacy for DECA and Career and Technical Education (CTE) is essential to the continued growth and success of the organization we all care so deeply about. This year, we aim to empower every member to become a strong and confident advocate by making advocacy more accessible. Through launching new resources, promoting national campaigns and celebrating outstanding member impact, we aim to inspire meaningful action at every level.
Communications
By reimagining how we, as executive officers, communicate with members and association leaders, we aim to better understand what every DECA member needs from us this year. Through consistent and accessible opportunities to connect directly with association officer teams—whenever and as often as they’d like—we hope to serve as a reliable source of support for every member and officer throughout our term.
Membership Engagement
This year, we hope to build meaningful connections across our organization. By utilizing new digital platforms and launching engaging social media series, we aim to connect with members creatively and innovatively. Additionally, we’re working to strengthen collaboration among association officers by facilitating new virtual meetings—giving officer teams more opportunities to network, share ideas and learn from one another.
