What percentage of state HOSA members must also be members of the national HOSA for the state to affiliate with national?

For a state to affiliate with national HOSA, it is required that all state HOSA members also be members of the national HOSA. This means that 100% of the members in the state organization must have national membership. This requirement ensures that the state organization is fully aligned with the national HOSA standards, mission, and objectives, promoting a unified structure and support system for students participating in health occupations programs.

Membership at this level reinforces the connection between state and national programs, providing members access to resources, competitions, and leadership opportunities that are consistent across the organization. This requirement emphasizes the importance of solidarity and comprehensive participation within HOSA, ensuring that all members are part of the larger health science community represented by national HOSA.

Other percentages like 50%, 75%, or 25% would imply that a portion of the state members could operate independently of the national body, which is not in line with the established structure of HOSA's affiliations.
