DECA On The Move DECA which stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America, is a club for students seeking a marketing career. The purpose of DECA is to help students build leadership for their careers. Last fall DECA members attended a delegate con- ference in Kansas City. Chris Brault ran for state office of president and Cindy Barrick ran for the office of president-elect, but neither one won. Two other conferences were attended by Butler DECA members. One conference was held at the Rock Springs Ranch near Junction City. Six members attended the Central Region Leadership Conference at Louisville KY. This conference helped give mem- bers understanding on how other DECA organiza- tions function. A marathon dance was scheduled for January but was cancelled due to lack of interest. Officers for DECA were; Chris Brault, president; Tim Franta, vice president; Eric Anderson, treasurer; Cindy Barrick, project chairman; Robin Anthony, secretary; Anita Lawson, reporter; Kevin Wyant, par- liamentarian. Jim Edwards is DECA sponsor. DECA OFFICERS (front row, from left) Cindy Barrick, Chris Brault, Robin Anthony. Back row, Anita Lawson, Tim Franta, Eric Anderson, Kevin Wyant. 26
