2008 - 09 North Carolina HOSA Executive Council

Hello everyone! We are your HOSA State Officer Team for the 2008-2009 school year! Each of us have developed personal corners for our individual offices. Our hope is that you will learn more about your state officer team as well as how to improve your leadership skills. Our corners are designed specifically for each office on all levels: chapter, region, and state. We will also provide information concerning hosting a benefit function, our national and state service projects, competitive events, starting a HOSA chapter, running for state office, increasing membership, and being apart of HOSA in college. Throughout this process, we will share insights into our HOSA career and tips on how to have a successful year in your elected position in HOSA. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail us.
Thank you for all your hard work this year!
