Chapter Awards
Chapter awards allow the National ESG Office to recognize the successes of chapters. There are two categories of awards, competitive activity awards and non-competitive recognition of chapters meeting ESG standards. Each chapter should set goals to apply for at least one award each year.
Chapter Activity Awards
Chapters that engage in a teaching, service, advocacy and/or research activity should consider applying for an ESG Chapter Activity Award. Chapters will be asked to describe their activity and how it has met the ESG Standards. This is a competitive award, with one chapter being selected for each activity award, which comes with a $250 award for the chapter and a certificate presented at the Annual Meeting.
2024-25 Chapter Activity Awards Application: Link to apply will be available in April 2025 and due on June 1, 2025
