National Officer Candidates

Delta Epsilon Chi is looking for national officer candidates who have leadership experience, are knowledgeable about Delta Epsilon Chi, able to identify the major issues and challenges of the association, able to solve problems creatively, work in teams, and have excellent communication skills.

National officer elections are held at the International Career Development Conference in the spring. If a member wants to campaign for national office, the member needs to coordinate his/her efforts first through their local chapter advisor, and then through their state/provincial contact. In addition, all candidates must have a grade point average of 2.5 to be eligible to run for office.

Election & Voting Information

The bylaw change voted and approved by the 2008 voting delegates alters the make-up for the Delta Epsilon Chi national officer team. Beginning in the 2009-2010 membership year, with elections being held at the upcoming 2009 International Career Development Conference, the national officer team will consist of a National President and four Vice Presidents. The "regional" status of the vice presidents will be removed. Instead this new versatile national officer team will be able to better serve members not on the basis of geographic location but instead by offering their unique skill sets and abilities to improving the membership experience.

Additionally, now more than ever the role of Voting Delegate takes on more responsibility because each Voting Delegate will be responsible for electing each member of the national officer team. In accordance with this change it is important that you are aware of the opportunities that exist, and the procedures that are in place, for election of the Delta Epsilon Chi national officer team.
