Honor Chapter Goals and Guidelines

Honor Chapter Program Background
The Honor Chapter Program was started in 1993 to recognize outstanding chapters for their dedication to running a great program for their members throughout the year.

How do you become an Honor Chapter? Simple, I tell you! Just get a copy of the guidelines to be an Honor Chapter, follow them, and then turn them in with your Chapter Book at the annual Fall Fellowship. Once the First Vice-Chief ratifies your report, you will be honored as an Honor Chapter for the next year.

Part of the Honor Chapter Program is the competition for the Fall Fellowship Chapter Excellence Award. The Chapter Book you put together is judged by a three-person panel and the highest scoring book is declared the winner of one of the 3 awards at Fall Fellowship. Since 1993, both small and large chapters have been victorious, so any active chapter has a chance to come out on top!
