Demerit Program HOSA Officers It is important that the HOSA officers are true leaders not just officers. Therefore, it is essential that they fulfill their officer obligations and actively participate in chapter activities. In an effort to strengthen the contributions of the HOSA executive council, a demerit program will be enforced as follows: 3 demerits for an unexcused absence from a Leadership Team meeting 3 demerits for an unexcused absence from the program of work planning meeting(s) 2 demerits for an unexcused absence from a monthly chapter meeting 4 demerits for not forming committees or assigning a chairperson 6 demerits for failure to perform an officer duty 3 demerits for failure to behave in a professional manner (detention/iss) 2 demerits for failure to adhere to GCHS or HOSA dress code Upon receiving 10 demerits, the officer will receive a written warning from an advisor. A copy will be given to the officer, advisor, and student activities director. Upon receiving 15 demerits, the officer will be asked by the advisor to resign his/her office. Resignation should be made in writing within two days of request. Upon receiving 16 demerits, the officer will be removed from office. The president will appoint with the approval of the executive council a replacement officer. Advisors and/or executive council reserve the right to amend the demerit system as needed. Officers will be notified in writing about any changes. Active advisors will assign demerits. Their decisions will be final. My signature below indicates that I have been notified about the demerit program and indicates my willingness to abide by it. Applicants Name Printed Applicants Signature Date
