Each year we attend a state and international leadership conference. Both secondary (high school) and postsecondary (college) students compete in various events, listed below. The top state performers in each event are invited to the international leadership conference (formerly the national leadership conference).
The international leadership conference (ILC) rotates between Disneyland, Disneyworld, Houstin TX and Nashville, TN. The ILC is a great opportunity for students to showcase their event mastery and also network with other future health professionals. More information can be found at http://nlc.hosa.org/.
