Announcements!!!

NEW FOR THIS WEEK -

There will be a major announcement coming this afternoon, regarding our 27-28 State Executive Council positions, and then the applicant guide and website will be updated to include the new information, so be on the lookout for that!
There are only a few days left to register for our first ever all-CTSO collaborative conference, Red Zone Leadership at State Farm Stadium on November 13th! Be sure to get your registration in before the end of this week! (Note - registration link is on the Red Zone page of our site, and NOT in CMS.)

FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK -

We are continuing to work on updating all pages of the website, but unfortunately are still without an AzHOSA assistant at this time, so we thank you for your patience on a few of these pages that are taking a bit longer to update than anticipated!

Check out our newest section of the Weekly Updates page below - our "AzHOSA Shout-out" section!

This week's Advisor To-Do's:

Remind any interested students that TODAY is the deadline to submit applications for Regional Representative! The hard deadline is tonight at 5:00pm

We are planning to get emails out this week to all

interested advisors, so please let me know ASAP if

you are interested in joining one of our new

committees! Each team is looking for a couple more

local advisors to have their voices heard, and

support the goals of a successful chartered

association!

Competitive Event Committee
NOTE - Professional Development Hours are available to those
advisors for the hours served on these committees!
