Welcome, Leaders of HLAA Chapters and State organizations and HLAA Chapter Coordinators!
Whether you are the current, elected leader or president, or the leader-elect, newsletter editor, treasurer or state chapter coordinator, this page is for you! Chapters and state organizations represent the heart and muscle of HLAA. HLAA National staff and resources are here to help you succeed in your HLAA role.
The single, most comprehensive source for leadership materials is the HLAA Leaders Wiki, an online encyclopedia of tools, tips and techniques for running a successful Chapter or State organization.
