HOSA Welcomes 

Special Guests 

The Acting Deputy 

Surgeon General 

Rear Admiral Robert C. 

Williams, P.E., DEE 

“Go confidently in the 

direction of your dreams, live 

the life you have imagined.” 

By Henry David Thoreau 

Since October of 2007, RADM Bob Williams has served as the 

Acting Deputy Surgeon General of the United States, serving as the 

principal assistant and advisor to the Surgeon General regarding 

the development and implementation of programs, priorities, and 

initiatives. As Deputy Surgeon General, RADM Williams maintains 

effective relationships and collaborations with executive leadership 

within the federal government and serves as Chief Executive Officer 

of the 6,000-plus members of the USPHS Commissioned Corps. Prior 

to assuming the duties as Acting Deputy Surgeon General, RADM 

Williams served as the Chief of Staff, Office of the Surgeon General, 

since 2003. As Chief of Staff, he provided direction and oversight 

to 110 personnel constituting six offices (Commissioned Corps 

Operations, Force Readiness and Deployment, Civilian Volunteer 

Medical Reserve Corps, Reserve Affairs, Military Liaison and Veteran 

Affairs, and Science and Communications) and advice and council to 

the Surgeon General. 

RADM Williams is a friend of HOSA’s as he spoke at the joint meeting 

of the State Advisors and State Presidents attending the Washington 

Leadership Academy at the White House Briefing in Washington, D.C, 

in September, 2008. At that very special meeting, RADM Williams 

commended HOSA for having many of the same priorities of the 

Surgeon General – disease prevention, public health preparedness, 

eliminating health disparities and health literacy. He shared, “To me, 

the value of HOSA is it provides a framework to bring your passions to 

life through leadership development, motivation and recognition of 

your individual value to the future of health care and public health.” 

RADM Williams understands the necessity of HOSA and its members 

as an integral part to the future of the health care and the public 

health workforce. He knows that the future of health care begins 

with each member of HOSA – working together as we move from a 

treatment-based society to a prevention-focused society. “You only 

have to have the desire and the belief that you can make a difference, 

and then do it! The success of health care in this nation begins with 

those who have the courage to make a difference …. and, I believe 

these are the qualities in each member of HOSA.” 

The Honorable Tim Webb 

Commissioner of 

Education 

Commissioner Webb joined 

the Tennessee Department of 

Education in 2003. Before his 

appointment as commissioner 

in July 2008 by Governor Phil 

Bredesen, he served as deputy 

commissioner, overseeing the daily 

operations of all divisions of the 

department. He has also served 

as assistant commissioner for the 

Division of Resources and Support Services, which is responsible for 

public school funding and facility oversight. 

Prior to joining the state department, Dr. Webb’s career included 

several senior educational administration and teaching positions, 

previously serving as Superintendent of Lewis County Schools, Lewis 

County Middle School Assistant Principal and Athletic Director, as 

well as Lewis County Schools System-wide Title II Coordinator. He 

also taught middle school mathematics and social studies for seven 

years. 

Commissioner Webb is a Hohenwald, Tennessee native, a retired 

Tennessee Army National Guardsman and a great friend to 

Tennessee HOSA! 

Scott Hess 

Education Program 

Specialist 

U.S. Department of 

Education 

Scott Hess is currently the acting 

Director of the Discretionary 

Programs and Innovation Group 

in the Division of High School, 

Post Secondary and Career 

Education. He was the project 

lead for the Department’s Career 

Cluster projects, and currently manages the College and Career 

Transitions Initiative. Prior to working at the Department, Scott was 

an Educational Coordinator at the Utah State Office of Education 

other state positions were, State School-to-Careers Coordinator; 

Adult Education Director; State Specialist for Health Sciences, Health 

Education, Physical Education, and HIV Education. At the national 

level he was the Director of the National Health Science Career 

Pathway Project. He has taught at the high school and university 

level and has served as a consultant to both the public and private 

sector in a variety of workforce development, education and 

healthcare related projects. As you can tell after reading Mr. Hess’ 

biography that he believes in the future of healthcare – and HOSA. 

We welcome Mr. Hess for joining us at HOSA’s NLC for a second year 

and we thank him for his belief that HOSA does make a difference.

Corporate Leader Award 

HCA 

Hospital Corporation of America 

HCA, the nation’s leading provider of healthcare, 

has 185,000 affiliated employees located in 166 

hospitals and 112 outpatient centers in 20 states 

and England. 

HCA’s commitment to a healthy work environment 

encompasses an unwavering focus on five key 

areas – culture, leadership, voice, rewards and 

staffing. This unique healthcare provider knows 

that if they do well in the areas that contribute to 

a healthy work environment, that employees will 

be able to provide the safest, highest-quality and 

most compassionate service to patients and their 

families. In short, HCA takes care of the people it 

depends on to take care of its patients. 

On rare but unforgettable occasions, HCA associates 

have been called to offer healing and 

comfort to communities experiencing crises and 

disasters. They have been asked to go “above and 

beyond” normal patient care to ensure the care of 

human life during times of tragedy. 

These rare occasions - when companies do the 

right things for their communities and their 

employees—are the things that make good 

companies great! 

Catherine Raney has always had a passion for singing. Starting at an early age, she decided to pursue 

a career in music. This led to the Opry and Festival circuit in Texas and Louisiana. Since 2001, she has 

performed at Tim McGraw’s annual Swampstock in Rayville, Louisiana and was an opening act on the 

“Live Your Voice” tour in 2008. She has also opened for such artists as The Warren Brothers, Chris 

Cagle, Martina McBride, Faith Hill and, of course, Tim McGraw. 

Catherine recorded “All The Pretty Little Ponies” that 

was featured on the soundtrack for the motion 

picture, Flicka. Currently, she is working on her first 

album with the help of producers Tim McGraw and 

Byron Gallimore. 

Performing with Catherine is the famous band, “The Dancehall Doctors”. 

The Dancehall Doctors record and tour with the country music legend Tim 

McGraw. They are one of the few touring bands in the music industry to 

also serve as the studio musicians on Tim’s albums. The band is led by 

guitarist Darran Smith and features eight talented musicians. It is indeed a 

treat to have Catherine Raney and The Dancehall Doctors join us at this 

year’s National Leadership Conference. You will want to arrive early to the 

Opening General Session! 

The nearly 110,000 future health professionals of 

HOSA are honored and privileged to recognize 

the magnificent men and women who are part of 

a great healthcare provider because HCA Cares 

– with a corporate culture that is committed to 

“Leaving No One Behind!” 

Hurricane Katrina was a defining moment for 

HCA and all involved acted above and beyond 

what could have been asked of them. Each 

person contributed directly or indirectly to the 

saving of countless lives. And, after all, this is 

ultimately why health providers do what they do 

in the midst of crises and disasters, like Katrina, 

Columbine, bombing of the federal building in 

Oklahoma City, as well as each and every day. 

HOSA members are proud to prepare themselves 

to be future health professionals when they 

witness a remarkable commitment of a healthcare 

provider to its patients and employees to ensure 

their safety regardless of the cost involved!

of the 2009 Corporate Leader Award!

Conference information 

Sleeping Rooms 

A good reputation enables members to take pride in their 

organization. HOSA members have an excellent reputation. 

Conduct at any HOSA function, whether it is a general 

session or in the cleanliness of a sleeping room, should 

make a positive contribution to the reputation that has 

been established. 

Please check rooms before departure from the hotel to 

ensure that they are left in a reasonable condition. 

Delegates are responsible for any vandalism and will be 

expected to pay any and all damages. 

Conference Message Center 

A message board is available at all times for any schedule 

changes, special announcements, and messages for individuals 

by state at the Conference Headquarters located 

outside the Delta C Reg Desk. 

Conference Name Badges 

Conference name badges must be worn at all times while 

at the Conference. The name badge serves as the entry to 

all official conference functions including general sessions, 

business session, workshops, and for bus transportation to 

competitive event sites. For security purposes, do not wear 

the conference badge while touring the city, etc. 

For conference activities, wear your name badge in plain 

sight to ensure your admittance to conference functions. 

Replacement badges are $5 and can be obtained at the 

Conference Headquarters with proper identification. 

Admission Tickets 

Delegates must have tickets to attend the Opening General 

Session, Recognition Session, and the Awards Session. Only 

registered delegates and guests may attend the General 

Sessions and entertainment activities. A name badge must 

be visible at all times. Tickets are NOT required for admittance 

into Educational Symposium workshops and seating 

is on a first-come basis. We encourage you to attend each 

workshop for which you have an interest. 

HOSA Competitive Events information 

Fifty-seven competitive events will be conducted in six 

program areas at two levels at the National Leadership 

Conference. HOSA competitive events are conducted as 

incentives for HSTE students to be recognized for 

achievement related to career and leadership development. 

Competitive events are designed to complement the health 

science technology education programs through application 

of the instruction received. This practical experience 

assists the HOSA member in developing the knowledge, 

skills, and attitudes required to deliver quality health care. 

Competitive Events Orientation and Scheduling 

Each student competing is responsible for being prompt to 

the Orientation Session for his/her event and for the time 

period for which they are scheduled. Read the conference 

agenda carefully. You must be on time or risk disqualification. 

If you are not certain, go to the Competitive Events 

Headquarters or locate your chapter or state advisor. It is 

the responsibility of competitors to attend the Orientation 

Session or make arrangements for someone to attend in 

his/her place. HOSA is not responsible for errors in communication 

between the competitor and his/her designated 

representative at the Orientation Session. Due to testing/ 

preliminary rounds, a proxy is not permitted in several of 

the events. Be sure you know the rules or ask questions! 

Competitive Event Judges and Personnel 

Competitive event personnel and judges are asked to read 

the agenda carefully. It is essential that all personnel be at 

the event site in advance of the posted times. It should be 

remembered that event judges and personnel are “very 

important persons” at the National Leadership Conference. 

When opportunities arise, please tell these volunteers how 

much we appreciate the contributions they are making to 

HOSA and the 2009 NLC 

National Officer Campaigning 

Verbal campaigning may begin after the national 

officer candidate slate is announced by the Nominating 

Committee. 

Local and State Advisors’ Orientation Meeting 

All local and state advisors are encouraged to attend the 

orientation meeting on Wednesday from 2:30 – 3:30 PM 

in Hermitage CD. All conference chairmen will be present. 

Any changes in the program will be given at this time. 

This orientation is provided to ensure a smooth-running 

competitive events program and conference. 

Courtesy Corps & Host Committee 

Each state selects students and advisors to serve on the 

Conference Courtesy Corps. Members of the Courtesy 

Corps and Host Committee will assist in all aspects of 

the conference. The success of the National Leadership 

Conference is due in large part to the efforts of the Courtesy 

Corps. Thanks to all Courtesy Corps members. 

voting Delegates 

Each voting delegate will receive a voting delegate ribbon 

from his/her state advisor. All voting delegates or alternate 

must attend the Voting Delegate Orientation or have a 

representative as his/her proxy. Voting Delegates must be 

seated in the voting delegate area at least ten minutes prior 

to the start of the Business Session on Thursday at 3:00 PM. 

Official HOSA uniform must be worn. On Thursday, June 

25, the National Executive Council will host a breakfast for

Conference information 

voting delegates and national officer candidates. This will be an 

opportunity for the voting delegates to meet the national officer 

candidates on an informal basis. 

Curfew 

All HOSA members are asked to abide by curfew times and not 

leave their rooms after the published time in the program book. 

Conference insurance 

Conference insurance has been secured for all conference delegates. 

Protection can extend up to three days before and three days 

after the conference. Coverage begins when the insured delegate 

leaves his/her residence, and continues until he or she returns 

home (within the three-day extension). 

Gaylord Radisson Hotel and Hampton inn Shuttle 

HOSA has arranged for there to be a conference shuttle from these 

Hotels to the Gaylord Opryland. The shuttle will begin running at 

6:30 AM and will pick-up and drop off every thirty minutes until 30 

minutes after the last scheduled event. 

Conference Attire 

Conference delegate attire should be proper and appropriate 

since it reflects directly upon the State Association and National 

HOSA. Conference delegates are strongly encouraged to wear 

HOSA uniforms or appropriate business attire to business sessions, 

general sessions and other conference activities. There are many 

special guests in the audience and it is to everyone’s advantage to 

dress appropriately for all conference functions. 

Under no circumstances will blue jeans, shorts, or other casual attire 

be accepted at any Conference function (with the exception of 

tours, HOSA’s dances, and other recreational activities). Delegates 

dressed in such casual attire will not be permitted to participate 

in official HOSA conference meetings. The official HOSA uniform 

is required of voting delegates and national officers. Please 

note the guidelines of individual competitive events for specific 

instructions for students competing in certain competitive events. 

An official uniform policy for HOSA was approved by the Board of 

Directors and is described in Section B of the HOSA Handbook. 

Attire for Recognition and Award Sessions on Friday and Saturday is 

as follows: 

Females – A “dressy” short or long dress, official HOSA uniform, or 

business attire. 

Males – Business attire or official HOSA uniform. 

Reproduction of Photographs 

As a delegate to the National Leadership Conference, permission 

is granted to make photographs, videotapes, broadcasts, and/or 

sound recordings, separately or in combination, available for 

reproduction for educational and promotional purposes by 

National HOSA unless you put in writing this exception.

proudly.

• Stay until the end of each session.

those in back of you by “remaining low” before 

and after the picture is taken. 

• Periodically check the bulletin board near 

the Conference Headquarters for messages, 

program information, and state delegate 

instructions. 

• HOSA members are not confined to the hotel, 

but they do need advisor and/or chaperone 

permission to depart the property. 

• It is your responsibility to attend and be 

prompt for the activities in which you are 

involved.

know – ASK!

Let’s Fight Flu Together! is a program of Flu Busters, National PTA and the National Association of 

Elementary School Principals (NAESP) that began in July 2008. The program provides information, 

resources and support for onsite influenza (flu) vaccinations at schools and community-based organizations. 

HOSA is a supporting organization of this health initiative. 

Your HOSA chapter now has the information, resources and support to host a flu vaccination clinic at 

your school or in another community setting. By scheduling a Let’s Fight Flu Together! clinic, you can help 

prevent the spread of influenza in your community. 

The Statistics Are Important: 

- Children are attacked more frequently and are a major source of flu transmission than any other age 

group 

- In an average year, students miss approximately 38 million days of school due to influenza and parents 

missed more than 10 million work days to care for these children: 83 children died from influenzarelated 

diseases; of this number, 58 were children who had not received a flu vaccine as recommended 

by the CDC 

Using the information available on the /Let’s Fight Flu Together!/ website (www.pta.org/flushotclinics), 

you have everything needed to plan, schedule, promote and host a flu vaccination clinic. Once you have 

selected a time and date, and obtained the approval of school officials, a Flu Busters representative will 

work with you on scheduling. 

Help PTA reach its goal of vaccinating 1 million people this flu season! Get started now by visiting 

our website www.pta.org/flushotclinics or calling toll free 1(866) 782-3014.
