What happens if a HOSA officer graduates before the end of their term?

When a HOSA officer graduates before the end of their term, they must forfeit their office because the organization is structured around active student participation. HOSA is designed primarily for students who are currently enrolled in a health science education program. Once an officer graduates, they no longer fit this criteria, thus unable to fulfill the responsibilities associated with their position. This ensures that all officers are current students who can contribute effectively to the organization's goals and activities.

While some options may suggest alternatives such as continuing to serve or appointing a replacement, HOSA maintains a clear guideline that emphasizes the importance of having active students in officer roles to uphold the integrity and effectiveness of the organization.
