TEST Paragraph
Established in 2011, the Chapter Grassroots Recognition program recognizes chapters at one of three levels—Bronze, Silver, or Gold—for outstanding grassroots performance. It also provides a self-evaluation tool to help chapters continue to improve their grassroots activities.
The Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of achievement are based on a point system for actions and policies the chapter has in place. Performance is measured through a chapter self-evaluation like ABC’s STEP Safety Management System.
There are 100 possible points in the application process. You must achieve 70 out of 100 points to be considered for an award.
There are eight questions, six to be completed by the chapter and two to be completed by ABC National. Please read each question carefully and provide additional information when requested.
