Answer: (C)

Executive Officer Teams function as the bridge between DECA Inc. and student members. Their main job is to gather input from chapters, communicate DECA’s programs and opportunities to members, and provide recommendations on student programs and services to improve the member experience. This two-way flow ensures national initiatives stay relevant to students and that members have the resources and support they need.

Fundraising events are typically driven by chapters or districts, social media management is handled by communications teams at either the national level or local chapters, and chapter campaigns within schools are usually run by the chapter and its advisors. The EO Teams’ distinctive focus is the liaison role and advising on programs and services.
