Holt Senior Elected as State DECA Officer
November 8, 2010
Wentzville, MO
Holt Senior Lindsey Ralls was elected as an executive state officer for the Missouri Association of DECA during the annual DECA Fall Leadership Conference held in October at Lake of the Ozarks. Sixteen public high school students were elected to state office positions at the conference, which was attended by more than 650 high school marketing students and their teachers.
A president, vice president, secretary and reporter were elected as state officers and 12 district vice presidents were named as well. Miss Ralls was elected to serve as Executive Secretary for the 2010-2011 school year.
The newly elected officers were determined on the basis of their written test, screening and nominating committee interview, and the number of ballots cast by voting delegates after delivering their campaign speech during the election session. Serving as a state officer provides DECA members the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and professionalism essential for a successful career.
DECA is an international association of high school students studying marketing, finance, hospitality and management. Missouri DECA ranks sixth in the nation in membership with more than 9,000 members belonging to 177 chapters in the career and technical student organization.
