This conference is open to all affiliated HOSA members for the current academic year.  

 

For SLC 2027, this event will happen in early March and for SLC 2028, this event will occur in late March.  Due to these differences in scheduling, generalizations will be avoided (for now) on this page. It is suggested to refer to the detailed calendar for each year as it is released. 

 

The dress code for this conference is business professional. Since this conference hosts competitive events, competitors need to follow the HOSA dress code that is specified in the guidelines.  A poster is available here: HOSA Dress Code Poster.pdf  

• Members should consider footwear carefully as they will be on their feet or walking a lot of the day. 

 

The State Leadership Conference is where we hold the majority of our competitive events, host several special activities, (such as the Anatomage Tournament), have expos, break-out sessions, voting for the next slate of State Officers, and more. 

 

Each chapter will have (state level) two voting delegates selected (registered under options/activities) that will be their chapter voice to vote for the next slate of State Officers.  

 

Registration fees are set per conference to allow for the cheapest registration possible for members.  

•  For SLC 2027, this conference is currently estimated to have an approximate $60-70 registration. For SLC 2028, State Staff anticipates registration decreasing to $45-55. 

 

Lunch will be provided as part of the registration free on at least one day of the conference. Efforts will be made to provide lunch both days. HOSA swag items may be provided (or available to be won) at this event. 

 

Options and activities for this conference can include dietary restrictions, late fees, potential clothing items/sizes, leadership role/title, graduation items, State Officer Candidates, SLC t-shirts, etc. 

 

Due to the depth of details involving competitive events, please refer to the Competitive Events section of this handbook for those details. 

This conference will have online testing completed at the local level during the online testing window, a digital upload for applicable events, recognition and scholarship opportunities.

There are competitive events specific for those with IEPs. Please see the “CE Accommodations” tab for more information. 

 

Voting delegates for ILC - Kansas HOSA currently has spots for three secondary and one post-secondary/collegiate voting delegate.  We currently ask that interested ILC Voting Delegates take the Organizational Leadership test during the SLC online testing window.  If we have more interested delegates than spaces, we use this test to select the delegates.  If we have open spots for delegates, we will fill those on a first come, first serve basis.  It is important to note that ILC Voting Delegates cannot compete due to their duties during ILC. 

 

Registration for this conference will be completed by Chapter Advisors or Chapter Staff through the Chapter Management System. https://apps.hosa.org/
