FALL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

"Just weeks ago on October 5-6, 2023, Missouri HOSA hosted its 4th Fall Leadership Conference at Stephens College. This two-day event consisted of breakout sessions, networking time, group discussion, and the development of a chapter’s program of work. Much was learned during the breakout sessions, focusing on the four core values of our organization, increasing volunteer and internship opportunities, marketing and fundraising strategies, and creating the future health professional. Our delegation also bonded over a fun and exciting karaoke event where members sang their hearts out to their favorite songs. As a Missouri HOSA State Officer, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting with members of our Missouri delegation and I have learned so much from them and their experiences. It was truly moving to be in a room with so many driven like-minded individuals and the atmosphere created at this year’s conference was nothing but positive and welcoming. It felt as if there was no such thing as a bad idea, like we all were there not only to better ourselves but to better each other as well. I gathered so many great ideas, insights, and perspectives from the conference that hold great value to me because I saw first-hand the passion that our delegation has for HOSA. I am so grateful for this experience and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our Missouri HOSA members, chapters, and delegation as a whole."
