2 2017-2018 State Officers SLC Welcome Letter

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

Space Cadets prepare for our last galactic exploration! For this mission, get your boosters ready for an INSPIRING, EPIC, and STELLAR adventure. Don’t alienate your fellow cadets, there is enough room in our outer space and our mission to mingle with other people, make new friends, and network. When meeting new people make sure to greet them with a hand shake, state your name, what school you attend, and share a bit about your event. Remember, “you never get a second chance to make a great first impression.” I would like to welcome our new young padawans and experienced commanders to the 2018 HOSA State Leadership Conference.

Our theme this year has orbited around the concept of motivating and inspiring members to take their leadership above and beyond by being innovative thinkers in their schools, careers, and communities. We are happy to report that members, chapters, and advisors have been making cosmic connections with health science by reaching for the stars and aligning their planets all year to make an amazing impact in every aspect of their lives. Now, we all have the chance to share our accomplishments, our achievements, and rocket to reality with HOSA.

With your involvement, through our leadership trainings, workshops, chapter visits, and conferences, the state officer team had a successful year. We took small steps as chapters but giant leaps as a state to walk to the moon. In addition, we became space commanders in our communities by raising money for National Alliance of Mental Illness. Together we became a state full of solar families, cosmic friends, and luminous stars.

Please join us in celebrating all of our successful landings and much more. Make your spaceship a positive image for what you stand for; use proper etiquette to stand out above other competitors; show positive behavior and be a professional with your peers to ensure a fun, safe, and memorable mission!

With HOSA “The Sky is No Longer the Limit!” Prepare to blast off in 3-2-1!!!

Danielle Clopton Colorado HOSA State President and your 2017-2018 State Officer Team
