When was the HOSA search committee appointed?

The correct answer is based on the timeline of HOSA’s history, specifically the formation of the organization. The HOSA search committee was appointed in 1982 to consider and develop the structure and programs of what would become the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA). This marked a significant step in establishing a formal organization dedicated to promoting and developing the careers of students in health-related fields.

The committee's work laid the groundwork for HOSA’s eventual establishment, leading to its first official conference in 1978 and its further growth as a national organization. The year 1982 is crucial as it represents the point in time when structured efforts were made to create a supportive community for students pursuing health occupations, which is a foundational aspect of HOSA's mission.
