What is the focus of the Advocacy Campaign?

• A. To recognize chapters that advocate for DECA during Career and Technical Education Month.
• B. To raise funds for DECA chapters nationwide.
• C. To recruit new members for DECA through school clubs.
• D. To provide scholarships to top DECA members.

Answer: (A)

The focus of the Advocacy Campaign is recognizing chapters that actively promote and defend DECA during Career and Technical Education Month. This campaign celebrates chapters that engage their schools and communities to raise awareness of DECA’s value and impact on career readiness, leadership, and business education. It encourages visible advocacy, such as presenting to teachers and students, partnering with counselors, or hosting events that highlight DECA’s role in preparing students for future careers. This is distinct from fundraising, member recruitment, or scholarships, which are separate efforts. So, the best choice centers on honoring those chapters that advocate for DECA during CTE Month.
