Congratulations from EAA

Congratulations to your chapter in successfully reaching the GOLD level status recognition level for the combined 2020 and 2021 years. This program is based on 10 criteria that are consistently found in active and highly engaged chapters. Due to 2020 and 2021 being challenging years for chapters to maintain a high level of engagement, these years have been combined into a single recognition period. An additional 11th criteria point was included this year to help offset the unique challenges associated with limited social engagement, and to observe unique chapter approved activities.
