Greetings!
A special thank you to all advisors, chaperones and your students for making the 2019 Fall Leadership Conference a huge success! The state officers were proud to host over 650 attendees as they learned about " The Ripple Effect" and how members can make a positive difference in their schools and communities.
We were honored to have Jason Huff, Chair-Elect of the National HOSA, Inc. Board of Directors bring remarks along with Doug Wolf, HOSA 100 member, as he shared his story of donating a kidney to his mother. The keynote address and a workshop were presented by Rhett Laubach from Oklahoma.

Have a great week and we encourage you to review the upcoming deadlines and opportunities for your members.

Jim Scott, Ohio HOSA State Advisor
