Supplementary Application 1. I think I deserve to be on the DECA 2016-2017 Exec Team as I believe I am a dedicated and collaborative person. I believe that being a member; I can help get every member’s voices heard on the executive team as I possess excellent communication and collaborative skills. For example: being a Cat Crew leader this year has demonstrated that everyone needs to be listened to equally and that I will use strategies to make this happen at the exec meetings. I was dedicated (and still will be) to DECA and its exec team during the past year and was committed in giving my opinions or helping other higher execs as I was a team lead this year.
