REQUEST FOR AGENDA TIME BUSINESS SESSION

Requesting Time During Virtual Business Session: Week of May 4, 2020 Division: Secondary Postsecondary/Collegiate State Requesting Time: Name and State of Second: [Note: Second must be made by a delegate from a state different than the maker of the motion.] STATE THE MOTION: (Use other side if more space is needed.) Signature of Motion Maker Signature of Chapter Advisor of Motion Maker Signature of Seconder of Motion Signature of Chapter Advisor of Seconder of Motion REQUESTS FOR AGENDA TIME must be emailed to SLC@nchosa.org by Friday, May 1, 2020 at 12:00PM. If the Credentials Committee approves the request, time will be allotted during the appropriate Business Session.

State Officer Team Reorganization Proposal

Purpose: To reduce the number of state officers on the team from 9 members to 6 members. Benefits:

1. Will serve as a more prestigious position. Since the position of state officer is the second highest position in HOSA, this should make the position more sought after.

2. Allows the addition of a President-Elect to better mirror other HOSA Executive Councils in both state associations and at the international level.

Proposed Change: Upon becoming elected, state officers would then be responsible for two regions. The proposed combination of regions is below:

1. Northeast & Southeast 2. North Central & Sandhills 3. Piedmont-Triad & Southwest 4. Northwest & Western

The combination of regions will only be used for the state officer representatives. Each region’s composure will remain the same for all other events, etc. Each region will continue to host their own regional events. The proposed change will necessitate that each region’s Regional Leadership Conference (RLC) be held on opposite weekends from its sister region. For example, the Northeast Region hosts their RLC on Friday, November 7th, then the Southeast Region would need to host their event the week before or after in order to have the state officer representative present at both conferences. Election of Candidates: The application process will stay the same in regard to the candidate. The only change being proposed is that the top two candidates from the combined regions will be selected solely on their initial application scores (Interview, Speech, Test, and Application) regardless of home region. No voting would be held until the two candidates were slated to campaign at the State Leadership Conference.
