Which of the following is NOT a component of the NC DECA Board of Directors?

The NC DECA Board of Directors is composed of various individuals who play critical roles in supporting and governing the organization. A school principal, while an important figure in the educational environment, is not typically included as a formal member of the NC DECA Board of Directors. The board generally consists of dedicated DECA advisors, state officers, and marketing consultants who directly contribute to the strategic direction and operational management of DECA at the state level.

In contrast, the NC DECA Advisor provides guidance and support to the chapter, ensuring that students have the resources they need to succeed in DECA activities. State Officers represent the student voice within the organization and are actively involved in leading initiatives. Marketing Consultants usually lend their expertise in marketing to help develop programs and initiatives aimed at enhancing the DECA experience. Each of these roles aligns closely with the mission of DECA to prepare emerging leaders in business and marketing. This highlights the collaborative nature of DECA’s leadership structure, where individuals are chosen based on their direct involvement and expertise, rather than their position within the school administration.
