Please keep in your thoughts and prayers two of our teachers who have lost loved ones in the last several months.
Katie Blair, Instructor at Clay HS Katie's sister passed away in the Fall after an illness. Also, Karen Rossetter, Instructor at Tolles Career & Technical Center. Karen's mother passed away in early November.
We also pass along our condolences to the family of Jaycie Rood, a HOSA member from R G Drage CTC and a student in Karen Marks' program. Jaycie was killed in a tragic auto accident several weeks ago. Please keep Karen in your thoughts and prayers as she has lost both her mother and father this year along with one of her students.

Competitive Event Helpers Needed
|
|
We are all familiar with the phrase, "All Hands on Deck!" In order to conduct quality experiences we need every advisor to help with conducting our regional and state competitive events. Your expertise and assistance along with that of industry representatives will allow us to provide those positive experiences.
Thank you to those advisors who attended the Fall Leadership Conference and signed up to assist with conducting their region and the state competitive events. We understand all advisors could not attend the FLC and we want to reach out to you!
The success of your region's competitive events and the state competition is dependent on many volunteers willing to serve as helpers and judges.
Please download the below form, complete it and email the form to Jim Scott prior to Thanksgiving Break.
We will then copy the form and give the appropriate forms to the respective Region Captain for potential use as they plan and prepare for the regional competition. No teacher will be asked or allowed to judge their own student(s). If you know of others who would be willing to assist, please copy the form and email it to [email protected].

Reminder: When you affiliate your members be sure to add their email addresses at the same time. Students who are planning to:
- Participate in a Recognition Event;
- Compete in a competitive event that requires uploads to STEM Premier;
- Apply for a HOSA Scholarship
will only be able to access STEM Premier by creating an account that matches the email address used when they affiliated.
Note
: If you have already
affiliated your students and need to change any emails, you do not have access to make changes. You may send me a typed list of the student with their desired email address correction and I will make that adjustment in the system.

I had a question raised this week from one of our advisors regarding membership/affiliation deadlines. I hope the below clarification will help answer the question:
- Advisors may affiliate students until January 1st. Remember an earlier date of affiliation is required for all who are signing up for competitive events.
- Advisors may affiliate students who enroll in the second semester until March 1st. If you plan for these students to compete in a competitive event at the regional or state level, you will need to sign them up prior to the closing date of their respective regional competitive event registration deadline.
