Use this link to find your Representative and reach out via phone or email information given to schedule a time to meet with the Representative for your area. Make sure to bring "leave behinds" This is information to share with the Representative about your CTSO and further inform them about CTSO/CTAE. Some chapters do this by having members write letters to their Representative sharing what CTSO/CTAE has done for them or their HOSA Journey. This is a great way to include members who might not be able to attend. Also include information about your chapter. How many members? Events attended. What are some good things you have done in the community, etc...

The Georgia State Capital is a beautiful building with many photo opportunities. You can also use the following links for other Capital activities:
Both The House & Senate have sessions during the day. Students can go into Chambers and observe. They must follow strict guidelines given by the chambers attendants and represent their CTSO well.
Please join Georgia HOSA this year for CTSO Day at the Capital. Chat with your other CTSOs and see if you can join together as all CTSOs for Georgia will be in attendance!
