Governance

Tennessee DECA is a nonprofit student organization that operates through a collaborative leadership structure that supports students and educators across the state.

Student members play an active role in leading the organization. Each year, an elected team of student State Officers represents the student membership, contributes to program planning, and promotes ongoing engagement in DECA programs.

The Chartered Association Advisor leads Tennessee DECA’s programs and day-to-day operations. In coordination with the Tennessee Department of Education, the Chartered Association Advisor ensures DECA is aligned with Tennessee’s career and technical education.
