Who is responsible for HOSA's national leadership structure?

The HOSA Board of Directors plays a crucial role in establishing and overseeing HOSA's national leadership structure. This board is composed of various representatives, including educators and professionals, who help guide the organization's policies and strategic direction. They are responsible for ensuring that HOSA aligns with its mission to promote career opportunities in the health professions and support student leadership.

The board’s responsibilities include setting the framework for national events, programs, and initiatives that enhance HOSA's impact on members. Their decisions shape the overall governance, enabling chapters across the nation to operate effectively under a shared set of guidelines and objectives.

Other entities such as the U.S. Department of Education may provide regulatory guidance or funding, but they do not manage HOSA's internal leadership structure. Local chapter leaders and state advisors contribute significantly to HOSA at their respective levels but operate within the framework established by the national board rather than being responsible for overall leadership structure.
