2018-19 Competitive Events Guidelines
The 2018-19 Competitive Event Guidelines are now posted on the National HOSA website. Now is a great time to encourage your students to review the updated competitive events guidelines as they begin identifying and planning for their competitions. The 2018-19 Competitive Events Guidelines are the official guidelines that will be utilized at regional, state and international competitions.

Affiliate Your Chapter and Members
The Chapter Affiliation System is currently open and available to complete your membership roster. All students enrolled in your program and/or who have an interest being a part of HOSA should be affiliated as quickly as possible. Remember affiliation of your membership roster is required before you can sign up for Fall Leadership Conference and competitive events. Affiliation cost is $20/person including students, advisors and others.
National Pediatric Cancer Project
The delegates at the International Leadership Conference in Dallas, TX voted to embrace the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF) as the official HOSA initiative. This partnership is for the next two school years.

The below website will be the main source for all involvement with the NPCF as well as where HOSA members and advisors can go to download marketing materials, educational Power points, and videos. Keep checking back as they will continually be adding new resources!

In terms of fundraising, please forward this information to your local Ohio c hapter leaders. T he ‘Leaders Guide’ sign up as well as the ‘Individual Guide’ document can be accessed by clicking on the below words, "Leaders" and "Individuals" and the below website. We will be covering this topic in greater details at the Fall Leadership Conference.

Fall Leadership Conference
Fall Leadership Conference registration opened August 30, 2018. Registration is on the HOSA Affiliation System. Click the below link to access the tentative agenda.
Time Saver: Medical and Code of Conduct Forms
Each year advisors often have to have students complete Medical and Code of Conduct forms three different times for Ohio HOSA sponsored events (Fall Leadership Conference; Regional Competitive Events; and State Leadership Conference). In an effort to reduce advisor workload, we are encouraging you to have each member complete both forms and then the chapter mail the forms to the State Advisor.

In turn, Ohio HOSA will maintain the forms and have them available at each event. Therefore, an advisor would not need to submit copies at each Ohio HOSA sponsored event.

To accomplish this advisors may wish to have students complete these forms the first several weeks of school. You may download and print the forms by clicking on the below link.

Mail completed student and advisor forms to:

Ohio HOSA
5943 Ocala Court
Galloway, OH 43119

Advisors are still encouraged to bring a copy of the form for their use in case of need and also the student should have a coy of their medical form with them at all tmes during thei respective event.

Note: This is not required -- you may choose to bring the appropriate forms day of the event. Additional forms for new members may be mailed in as you affiliate members.
Regional Competitive Events The 2018-19 Regional Competitive Events dates and locations are set. Click on the below link for more information. Registration opens in early October.
