Can alumni members vote, make motions, hold office, or compete in events?

Alumni members of HOSA typically do not have the same privileges as active members regarding voting, making motions, holding office, or competing in events. The primary purpose of the alumni membership is to provide support and mentorship to current members rather than direct involvement in governance and competitive activities. This distinction ensures that active student members maintain leadership roles and engage in competitive events, which are central to the organization's mission to promote health-related fields among students.

While alumni can contribute through support and mentorship, their lack of voting rights and other responsibilities ensures that the focus remains on current students, who are the primary beneficiaries of HOSA's programs and initiatives.
