HOSA International Leadership Conference Update and Dates

Please note that Tennessee HOSA deadlines may differ from the national HOSA deadlines advertised in the 2017 International Leadership Conference (ILC) Guide. Many of the deadlines provided by national HOSA are state deadlines, which require the state to collect items/information from advisors prior to the advertised deadline. For this reason, all state deadlines must be set earlier in order to process and validate information and forms by the national deadline. You can find more information concerning the ILC here.

You can find a copy of the ILC guide, which contains a schedule, Medical Release Forms,  Code of Conduct, and much more here. Advisors, it is important that you review this guide to ensure that all necessary items are completed for your students!
