What is the first step to starting a HOSA chapter?

The initial step to starting a HOSA chapter is to complete the Chapter Request Form. This form is a critical requirement as it formally initiates the process of establishing a new chapter. By submitting this form, you provide necessary information about your prospective chapter, such as its name, the school it will represent, and the contact details of the faculty advisor. This submission is needed to gain approval from the relevant HOSA authorities and ensures that the new chapter is recognized and can participate in HOSA activities and programs.

Once the Chapter Request Form is completed and submitted, you can then proceed with other essential steps, such as recruiting members and building the chapter structure, but the foundation begins with this important administrative task.
