SHREE PATEL | VP Communications
Hello! My name is Shree Patel and I am a senior at Glasgow High School. I’ve been in DECA since my freshman year, attending all region and state competitions. The last two years I have obtained a chapter officer position, this year being my first region position. Along with DECA, I also participate in FCCLA, KYA, Best Buddies, HOSA, Speech and Debate, and Art Club. What I’m looking forward to this year is seeing what our region can achieve and the fun we will have at all of our future meetings, as the last three years have been so unexpected and exciting. I can’t wait to see what this year brings!
