What does it take to become a DECA state officer?

<p>I am very interested in becoming a New York State DECA officer, but I am not entirely sure what it takes to be eligible to run. I did some research and this is what I could come up with:</p>

<p>1.) I would take an exam during the Fall Leadership Conference and I need a 75 or above to qualify</p>

<p>2.) The test is based on Robert’s Rules of Order, NYDECA Competitive Events manual, National
Officer Candidate Guidelines, NY DECA Constitution, NY DECA history and resource guide, Issues of Connection, Communicator, or Dimension from the previous school year </p>

<p>3.) There’s something with a “brag sheet” but I have no idea what that is</p>

<p>4.) There’s a limit to how much you can spend campaigning ($200.00)</p>

<p>5.) The Officer exam consists of one or more essays</p>

<p>6.) You can make a portfolio </p>

<p>7.) You can secure a booth at state competition as part of your $200.00 campaign limit</p>

<p>8.) You need to attend a certain amount of conferences once you get the position </p>

<p>9.) There’s something to do with getting 70 points</p>

<p>Could I still run if I cannot make one of the conferences and I do not have 70 points? Also, are the conferences run on weekdays or weekends? They were a total of 31 days when I added them up and I don’t think I would be able to miss that much school next year.</p>

<p>I found all of this information on the New York DECA website, but I may be misinterpreting it. Please respond if you know anything about the DECA state officer process.</p>

<p>I promise that this will be the last time I bump this thread lol. </p>

<p>Does anyone know where you can find a list of the current state officers? I want to e-mail them but I can’t seem to find them. I was going to e-mail Jack Fenton (North Atlantic Region VP), but I don’t want to seem like someone that can’t even find an e-mail address.</p>

<p>Frostyy,
I was googling, and I came across your post. I decided to make an account just so I could reply to you! I am currently a part of the Executive Council Team 54. I am responsible for guiding and assisting New York DECA members in becoming State Officer Candidates, it never was a task of the officers, but after going through the process myself, I wanted to be able to help members on the path to being a part of State Officer Team 55. I would like to help you in any way I can.
Looking forward to our future correspondence,
Your State Secretary and Historian</p>
