What must be approved for inactive status to be granted to a HOSA chapter?

To grant inactive status to a HOSA chapter, the constitution and bylaw changes must be approved. This requirement ensures that any shifting in the operational framework of the organization is formally recognized and documented, maintaining the integrity and consistency of the chapter’s governance.

Constitution and bylaw changes typically outline the rules and regulations that govern a chapter's activities and responsibilities. When a chapter seeks inactive status, it is critical to ensure that these changes reflect the current status of the organization and that they comply with any higher governing body regulations. By mandating approval of these changes, HOSA ensures that all chapters operate within a clearly defined framework, even in inactivity, which could help in the future reactivation of the chapter.

Other options, while relevant to the functioning of the organization (like membership fees, organizational goals, and training schedules), do not specifically address the procedural necessity for formally documenting a chapter's change in status. Therefore, the focus on constitution and bylaw alterations is what's required for the consideration of inactive status.
