What role do advisors play in the complaint filing process in HOSA?

Advisors play a crucial role in the complaint filing process within HOSA by ensuring that all necessary procedures are followed, which includes the requirement for approval of the complaint form before it is submitted. This step verifies that the complaint is properly grounded and appropriately articulated, facilitating a smoother process for addressing any issues that may arise. By approving the form, advisors help maintain the integrity of the complaint process and ensure that the concerns being raised are taken seriously and are in accordance with HOSA's guidelines and standards.

While advisors may assist in other capacities, such as guiding students or providing resources, their specific responsibility related to the complaint filing process is the approval of the complaint before it is officially submitted for further action or review. This helps to prevent frivolous claims and ensures that complaints are legitimate and based on substantive issues.
