The Department of Education is still working on updating some final items in our Data Portal that will house your Annual Chapter Submissions. For this reason, we ask for your patience BEFORE the submission link becomes available to advisors. You can continue to prepare all of the required items for submission, and we will make an announcement when the platform is officially open for 26-27 submissions. THANK YOU!
-
Don't forget to use the FAQ Padlet as a landing page for common questions and answers that you might have! It will be checked regularly to answer any new questions that have been added. Members of our AzHOSA Board of Directors, as well as our Competitive Events Committee Chair are also able to answer questions as needed.
