Who qualifies as members at large in HOSA?

Individuals without an established HOSA chapter qualify as members at large in HOSA. This designation allows those who have an interest in the health occupations field but do not belong to a specific chapter to engage and participate in HOSA activities. Being a member at large provides these individuals with opportunities to connect with resources, attend events, and benefit from the organization's programs, despite the absence of a local chapter. This inclusivity is fundamental to HOSA's mission of promoting health science education and preparing future health professionals, as it ensures that everyone interested in the health sector can be involved, regardless of their chapter affiliation.

The other options do not accurately define members at large. For instance, while students enrolled in high school and college students are involved in HOSA, they typically belong to chapters. Additionally, stating that all interested individuals qualify would not be precise, as membership at large specifically pertains to those without chapter affiliation.
