Who provides support to teachers and parents within DECA?

The Professional Division is dedicated to supporting educators and parents within DECA by providing resources, guidance, and networking opportunities. This division focuses on fostering professional development and creating a collaborative environment where teachers can enhance their instructional methods and engage parents in their students' DECA experiences. By offering workshops, materials, and networking events, the Professional Division fulfills a critical role in bridging the gap between DECA education and the community, ensuring all stakeholders are equipped to support students in their pathways.

In contrast, while the Alumni Division connects former DECA members and offers resources, it does not specifically target the support of teachers and parents. Executive Officer Teams focus more on leading student initiatives rather than providing direct support to parents and educators. The Congressional Advisory Board primarily works on legislative advocacy and does not have a direct role in supporting teachers and parents within the DECA framework.
