From the SC HOSA State Advisors Desk:
We want to thank all the advisors, students, presenters, exhibitors, state officers, alumni members and SC HOSA Board of Directors who participated and were key to the success of the 2014 Fall Leadership Conference. Without the involvement of all of the above we would not be able to have such a great conference. Special thanks to Newberry College for hosting us and for arranging such a wonderful lunch. What a truly special partner they are. Special thanks as well to Dawndy Mercer Plank for sharing her story of health and wellness with us. “There’s No Magic Pill”.
This was truly a team effort, as is all things HOSA related.
