The March Western Region Member of the Month is a member who has created an impact in her position for her association, not just this year, but for two years in a row. From being active on her social platforms, advocating for DECA and her support for local organizations in her state that her association has partnered with, such as Kenzie’s causes, this member could not be more deserving of member of the month! From the moment I met her last ICDC, she has been such a warm and welcoming voice in our organization and it has been an absolute pleasure watching her serve her terms in office. 🔹💫

Please join me in congratulating the Western Region Member of the Month from Colorado DECA, Charlize Hargrove! 🩵 by @decacharlize

Colorado DECA…

What an incredible past four years it has been but my how fast it went. It seems like just yesterday I was attending my first states, completely blown away by the broadmoor. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I’d become the CO DECA State President, but here I am, and I couldn’t have done it without any of you. Thank you all for making my time so special and for the constant love and support.

Being apart of this organization has completely changed my life and I am forever grateful. It has been my greatest honor to serve as a state officer these last two years and especially to serve as your president.

To my team.. I love you all endlessly and can’t believe it’s over. It has been an absolute blast working with you all. You are some of the most amazing people I have ever met and I was truly the luckiest to have you all as my team. Thank you for your endless love and support. I truly could not have done it without you.

And to my girls @decaavery and @deca.ellastorey I am so proud of the both of you. You are both such strong and wonderful ladies and the team is lucky to have you. I’m so excited to see what you accomplish next year.

Finally to my sweet @clarasissel, words cannot express how proud I am of you. Colorado DECA is lucky to have you as their president.

Signing off, your 25-26 CO DECA president, Charlize Hargrove 💕💕💕 @colorado.deca by @decacharlize

In a few days my DECA story as President will be nearing its end, and I simply can’t believe it. It seems unreal that this organization that has completely changed my life is almost done for me. Reflecting back over these past years I feel nothing but gratitude. Gratitude for the people, lessons and memories I have gained. DECA has forever shaped my life, and I am able to look back on my story with pride. While I am so sad that this story must end, I know that my life is just beginning, and I always have the opportunity to come back and read this chapter. There has been so much growth over my time in DECA and I simply would not be the person I am today without it and all of you. Thank you to everyone who has touched my life. It has been the greatest honor to be apart of this journey with you all. I decided to make a little scrapbook for my memories since freshman year, feeling only fitting to demonstrate my story. I will see you all for the final chapter this coming weekend, and I hope you all have your pens ready to write your next chapter. Cherish these moments and cherish the people you meet, it goes oh so fast. Thank you Colorado DECA, I will see you all very soon! @colorado.deca #shapeyourstory by @decacharlize

☀️DECA SENIOR SUNDAY☀️ With this being the final Sunday before states, and before my term at long last comes to an end, I figured I would post for senior Sunday. It is only fitting to add this addition to my own DECA story, and although deeply bittersweet, how exciting at the same time. Serving and being apart of DECA has been the most amazing experience of my life, and I would not be who I am without it. I cannot believe that my chapter will soon come to an end, but how lucky am I to look back and have all these memories. The greatest thing about a story is you can go back and read it anytime you want. 💕☀️💕 #deca #shapeyourstory #seniorsunday #classof2026 by @decacharlize
