Run for State Office

At Washington DECA, we love to see members who want to take their DECA experience and service to “the next level,” and running for state office is one of the best ways to do just that.

Should you be elected, you will find yourself making new, life-long friends; meeting countless DECA members near and far; taking on new challenges; and growing – not only your skills and your experience, but also your network.

Truly, it will be an experience that will change your life.

What Position Are You Interested In?

If at any time you have questions before or during the election or application process, please email our State Officer Coach, Nicole Cowan, at nicole@wadeca.org.
