Outstanding Chapter Awards

Members of the Iowa Chapter accept the Outstanding Small Chapter Award during the 2023 AFS Annual Meeting.

The Outstanding Chapter Award recognizes outstanding professionalism, active resource protection, and enhancement programs, as well as a strong commitment to the mission of the Society.

One award is given in each category (small Chapters—less than 100 members and large Chapters—100 or more members). Chapters must submit their nominations to their Division Presidents for consideration. Division Presidents may nominate up to one large Chapter and one small Chapter. Chapters should use the 2022 Application. Nomination forms should be submitted electronically to your Division President by PDF attachment to an email and include full contact information of the Chapter President (i.e. address, email, phone, etc.) to complete the package.
