Washington Leadership Academy


One of the greatest experiences South Dakota State Officers have experienced is their time spend at WLA in Washington DC.

Every year, HOSA-Future Health Professionals' hosts a capstone leadership experience for HOSA officers and members providing unique experiences through experiential learning, real world applicability and networking.
