Tennessee HOSA 2019 SLC Program

State Leadership Conference Chattanooga, Tennessee March 24–27, 2019 #TNHOSASLC

Welcome from Tennessee HOSA On behalf of the Executive Council, Welcome to Chattanooga! We are so glad you have joined us for Tennessee HOSA’s most exciting conference of the year! We are aware of your passion for healthcare and are so proud of each and every one of you for making it this far! No matter the outcome of this week, know that your hard work and dedication has made you a stronger leader and prepared you for your future in health care!

Since the beginning of our organization 42 years ago we, as Tennesseans, have been on the forefront of medical innovation and leadership.

This innovation and leadership can be attributed to HOSA’s commitment to preparing the best future health professionals in order to make a difference in our state and across the world. This year’s national theme is Define Your Purpose, and your Executive Council finds it fitting that almost 12,000 students in our home state are constantly making strides to make their purpose a reality. By engaging in clinical rotations, volunteering in your local communities, and leading peers within your schools, you are the reason Tennessee HOSA’s purpose shines as a beacon across our nation. Your purpose is what guides you down your path and here at the State Leadership Conference, our goal is for you to define that purpose and continue your journey to success.

There is one thing we all have in common here in Tennessee HOSA: Our love for service. During this years State Leadership Conference, be sure to get plugged in with other agents of change as we support our new National Service Project, The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

Here, you will have the opportunity to speak with other members about how their chapters are working to make a difference in their communities and to connect with health professionals who are joining the fight against pediatric cancer. As you spend time in Chattanooga, be sure to connect with other HOSA members and continue to build your network of future health professionals.

During the State Leadership Conference, your Executive Council wants to meet you! Be sure to stop and say hello when you see us! We love meeting you and seeing the awesome work you are putting forth in HOSA. You all have helped define our purpose, and now we can’t wait to see you define yours. With all this being said, we hope you are as excited as we are for the 2019 Tennessee HOSA State Leadership Conference!

Sincerely, Jake Kelley Tennessee HOSA President

Dress Code General Sessions

Other Conference Attire

(This policy is for student delegates. Advisors, family members, and guests are not required to wear the HOSA uniform or the black or navy blue suit with a white shirt to the general sessions, but are expected to dress professionally.)

Conference delegate attire should be proper and appropriate since it reflects directly upon the Tennessee HOSA and National HOSA. Conference delegates are strongly encouraged to wear HOSA uniforms or appropriate business attire to all conference activities.

Official dress code will be enforced for general sessions.

• Under no circumstances will blue jeans, shorts, or other casual attire be accepted at any conference function; the only exceptions are for tours, HOSA fun night activities, and other recreational activities.

• Delegates dressed in casual attire will not be permitted to participate in official HOSA conference meetings.

The official dress code for the student members for all general sessions at the NLC is: • HOSA uniform (see below) OR • Black or navy blue suit with a white shirt (the white shirt can be the member’s choice) • Closed toe blue or black shoes (hose optional) • Female members may choose to wear knee length skirt or slacks.

Student delegates not adhering to the above dress policy for all general sessions at the SLC/NLC will not be admitted. Adults should dress in professional attire but are not limited to the dress code for students.
