Learn How to Help Your Chapter Earn Points Toward an ACR Chapter Recognition Award

 

 

Over the past year members of the ACR Committee on Chapters and ACR staff worked to develop a program to formally recognize chapter successes and innovative initiatives.  Additionally, this program will create a space for the sharing of ideas among chapters, thus encouraging and supporting the activity of all ACR chapters.

 

As mentioned in last week’s ACR ENews, we are now accepting submissions for awards to be made during the 2004 ACR Annual Meeting and Chapter Leadership Conference.  These awards will cover any activities or initiatives your chapter engaged in between Jan. – Dec. 2003.  Please visit the ACR Chapter Recognition Web page for more details on how your chapter can participate.  CLICK HERE for a direct link.

 

We have put together a document addressing Questions You May Have About the ACR Chapter Recognition Program.  If this does not address all of your questions, please do not hesitate to contact Kelly Foster at kellyf@acr.org or 800.227.5463, ext. 4917.

 

This is a new program for all of us and we anticipate there will be a few issues that did not emerge during the planning phase.  Your feedback as you participate in the program will be greatly appreciated.  We hope you find value in participating in this program.  Above all, we hope the ACR Chapter Recognition Program serves to support and encourage the important contribution ACR chapters make to the profession.
