Southern Regional Conference

New Jersey HOSA’s southern members gather at the Southern Regional Leadership Conference each year to put their skills to the test. Secondary and Postsecondary/Collegiate members compete in dozens of different events varying from skilled to knowledge. A guest speaker attends and speaks to members on certain topics typically pertaining to the medical industry and life lessons, and is followed by a relaxing down time session. Come the end of the day, awards are distributed to each event’s top 8 participants where the top 5 later advance to compete in the State Leadership Conference.

When – February 4, 2023, 9am – 5pm
Where: Cumberland County Technical Education Center, Vineland, NJ
Registration deadline: Dec 12, 2022
