What is the purpose of the HOSA Strategic Plan?

The purpose of the HOSA Strategic Plan is to outline goals and actions that facilitate the growth and development of the organization. This plan serves as a roadmap, establishing a clear vision for the future, setting measurable objectives, and identifying actionable steps to achieve those objectives. It helps HOSA to maintain focus on key priorities, allocate resources effectively, and respond to changing needs within the organization and its membership.

In contrast, while financing events or preparing students for competitions are important aspects of HOSA's overall functioning, these activities do not encapsulate the broader strategic intent of fostering organizational growth and direction. The strategic plan is more about the long-term vision and less about immediate financial or competitive concerns. Thus, its primary role is to create a framework within which all members and chapters can align their efforts towards common goals, ensuring consistency and sustainable development over time.
