Does your chapter conduct an absolutely amazing event that your members believe is worthy of national recognition? |
| Then you are in the right place! The Program Award is designed for chapters that have one or more exceptional programs, but do not qualify for the Achieving Chapter Excellence Award. If you think that your chapter’s programs may qualify for the Program Award, please check out the guidelines listed here and view the rubric. Please direct questions about the award to your Regional Chapter Coordinator. |
| There are five categories of Program Awards: |
| • | Service | • | Communication |
| • | Professional Development | • | Membership |
| • | Fund-raising |
| Award Description |
| Created in 1995, the Program Award has since evolved into a new
format. Please follow the current descriptions and guidelines.
The Program Award is designed for Standard or Advanced Model chapters that demonstrate exemplary programming in a particular area of chapter management or programming, but do not necessarily excel in all the requirements as defined by the models to become eligible for the ACE award. Any chapter applying for the ACE Award may not apply for a Program Award in the same biennium. |
