Who can use the HOSA emblem?

The HOSA emblem is specifically designed to represent the organization and its values, primarily serving as a symbol for HOSA chapters. Each local chapter is an integral part of the national HOSA organization, and they are authorized to use the emblem to signify their affiliation and to promote the mission and activities of HOSA. By enabling HOSA chapters to use the emblem, the organization fosters a sense of community and unity among its members, enhancing the visibility and recognition of HOSA as a whole.

The other options do not align with the regulations surrounding the use of the emblem. While the national committee has a role in overseeing the use of the emblem, they do not have exclusive rights to it, as it is available for chapters. Participating students may be affiliated with a chapter but cannot use the emblem independently of their organization. Team leaders, while important within the structure, also do not have exclusive rights; the emblem is meant for entire chapters to reflect their collective identity and purpose within HOSA.
