WOW! Wasn’t the 2018 Fall Leadership Conference amazing? I know the State Officer Team had a fantastic time with all our members! From the educational workshops to the inspiring Ryan Moran to the enjoyable dance party, many unforgettable memories were made! My favorite part of FLC was getting to meet members and talk to them about what their chapters are doing back home. I hope FLC was an opportunity where you all were able to learn more about HOSA: Future Health Professional and about leadership skills. It was awesome to see familiar and new faces this year! Do not forget Indiana HOSA’s Winter Rally is coming up in January! I look forward to seeing you all at there!

What our parents want us to do? Or the job with the highest pay? It is important that those who are struggling with this big decision understand that they are among many others. As someone who is currently debating
We all want to have the biggest, strongest chapter but it doesn’t always seem to work out that way. Sometimes, it’s hard to recruit members. Although you might be the most passionate member of your organization, not everyone will be as invested—but how can you change that? Recruiting members can be difficult. Most high schools have a ginormous amount of organizations that students can be apart of, maybe even other organizations similar to HOSA. Some students are just simply too involved—maybe they’re already a part of too many organizations and don’t have any extra time to spare. Start by laying out some of the facts about the organization.
