FALL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
2025 FALL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
On October 12-13, 2025, over 260 HOSA members from 42 chapters came together for the Missouri Fall Leadership Conference in Columbia, MO. Over the span of two days, these outstanding leaders had the opportunity to improve upon their leadership skills by going to workshops related to fueling passion, including others, stepping out of your comfort zone, managing conflict, balancing life, and encouraging active members. They also were able to attend a networking night to strengthen the bonds between their chapters and other attendees! Monday was dedicated to learning about chapter Programs of Work, where students were able to discuss what makes their team strong and work on chapter plans for the year. Our state team hopes FLC was impactful for all members who attended and that the bonds they created remain strong!
