How Golden Chapters Succeed • Start the planning process with chapter excellence in mind • Plan programs with both chapter excellence and educational excellence in mind • Build a website if you don’t have one already • Encourage members to attend state and international events and be involved at those levels • Make the most of donations • Watch those deadlines and don’t let them get away from you.
How Golden Chapters Succeed • Appoint someone (or a committee) to oversee chapter excellence • Use every available opportunity to earn points • Ask for help! Invite state officers, area directors, members of other chapters to meet with you and brainstorm • Remember Chapter Excellence has nothing to do with chapter size. Even small chapters can be gold!
