Enthusiasm for Delta Epsilon Chi

There are many great experiences as a national officer, but so far one of the top experiences has been getting to see how truly dedicated and enthusiastic members can be. I have seen members who truly believe in the organization and want to help build it to its full potential.
One thing that I was truly amazed by was the willingness to help out. I was talking to some of the state officers in Rhode Island, as well as some of the leaders of the chapters in Rhode Island and they were more than willing to help out with chapters that were just opening in other states. They are not only willing to build their chapters and their own state, but they are willing to help the organization on a national level.
The dedication from the students from places like Post University and University of New Haven has really blown me away. They have worked their way up from nothing and they are doing really well. They have shown that Delta Epsilon Chi is worth the hard work of starting a chapter. These new chapters go through many periods of growth that require a lot of planning and action to get through.
Before I became a national officer, I knew that I wanted to help bring this organization to the next level with the help of my fellow national officers and the staff at DECA headquarters, but I never truly realized that the members have such a large part of the process. They are the main ingredient in the success and furthering of Delta Epsilon Chi and we couldn’t do anything without them. As we go into this year, I knew that we wanted to inspire everyone to become self-sufficient and engaged members, but I never truly realized the impact that doing this could have. I also realized that we have such great members, that it’s not hard to do this. They inspire themselves by seeing their own hard work pay off with the opening of new chapters and the astonishing accomplishments they are achieving in their own home towns.
If anyone has an ideas or is willing to help out with new chapter development contact your national officer. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to Delta Epsilon Chi.
