The National Chapter Award program recognizes chapters that actively implement the mission and strategies of the organization. Based on a chapter’s Program of Activities (POA), chapters are recognized for working in established areas called “quality standards,” which are divided into three divisions — growing leaders, building communities and strengthening agriculture.
