When and where was the second national HOSA conference held?

The second national HOSA conference took place from June 26 to July 1, 1979, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. This event was significant because it marked HOSA’s growth and development as a student organization dedicated to promoting career opportunities in healthcare and improving the quality of education and training for health science students.

Cherry Hill was chosen as the location for this event, bringing together members from various states to participate in workshops, competitions, and networking opportunities that would foster their understanding of health professions and leadership skills. HOSA's early conferences played a critical role in establishing a community and support network for students interested in health careers, setting the foundation for its continued growth and influence in the health education sector.

The other options refer to different dates and locations that do not correspond to the second national conference; thus, they represent historical events that are unrelated to this specific question about the timeline of HOSA's development.
