CHAPTER OF THE YEAR AWARDS

For the 2004 Congres members of the Membership, Legislative, Research, and Continuing Education Approval Committees gooded five chapter competition categories for the Chapter of the Year Awards. These categories are membership, research, newsletter outstanding achievement in continuing education, and legislative. Committee members solicited chapters to consummated individual surveys, scored the views and submitted the point scores to the Awards Committee. Members of the Awards Committee collated and evaluated points and used composite points to determine the award recipients. Chapter of the Year Awards recognize whalers in each chapter size category (ie, small, medium, intermediate, large). Each category may have a gold silver, and brown winner. A chapter may be the recipient of the Chapter of the Year Award (ie, gold) in its size category simply once every three years; however, chapters may be gooded for silver or bronze awards in consecutive years.
