What is the expected weekly time commitment for a Camas DECA Officer?

The expected weekly time commitment for a Camas DECA Officer is typically around 2-5 hours. This time frame allows officers to engage in various responsibilities that include preparing for meetings, planning events, working on projects, and collaborating with other officers and members. The commitment reflects the need to balance DECA activities with other academic and extracurricular obligations.

A commitment of 1-2 hours may not provide sufficient time to fulfill the essential duties and prepare effectively for competitions and events. Higher time commitments, such as 5-10 or 10-15 hours, could lead to burnout and overwhelm officers, especially if they are juggling other school activities or personal responsibilities. The 2-5 hour commitment strikes a balance, ensuring that officers can contribute meaningfully while still maintaining a healthy balance in their overall schedules.
