Who elects the International DECA Officers?

The International DECA Officers are elected by the student delegates during the DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC). Student delegates represent their respective state associations and participate in a democratic process to choose their leaders. This aligns with DECA's emphasis on student leadership and involvement in decision-making within the organization.

In this context, state associations, teachers of marketing education, and local chapter advisors do play supportive roles in DECA, such as guiding and advising students, but the power to elect the International Officers rests solely with the student body participating in the conference, highlighting the importance of student voice and leadership within the organization.
