Greetings!
I trust you had an enjoyable time with family and friends over the holiday break.

As we prepare for 201 and the remainder of this year's school year, I wanted to highlight two upcoming events.

First, note that the signup deadline for our regional competitive events is January 12, 2021. Remember, each chapter may register up to 4 teams and 4 individuals for each of the competitive events.

Second, if your chapter is in need of finances because of limited opportunities to conduct a fundraising event, please consider the Lifeline of Ohio $1,000, $500, and $250 awards. Details below - Empower your chapter officers to undertake this challenge!


Please contact if I can be of assistance to you. Happy New Year!

Jim Scott, Ohio HOSA State Advisor
