This month’s Chapter of the Year activity update is supposed to help your local chapter get the “easy points” that are hidden in the Chapter of the Year entry form.
There are various ways to gain points from everyday activities your chapter already participates in and activities your chapter can easily implement. If you look at the chapter entry form, you’ll see that the activities listed under Chapter Management and Organization and Social Activity are quick and easy Chapter of the Year points.
For example, your chapter can gain 10 points for developing a chapter program of work, 10 points for preparing a chapter public relations plan, 5 points for preparing a chapter budget and income statement, 5 points for nominating a member of the month, and 5 points for each social activity.
These activities are easy to conduct in the first few weeks of school when your chapter is setting up for the year. Don’t forget you earn more points by submitting your Chapter of the Year entry form early! I hope that these activities are helpful to get you on track for your chapter of year journey. If you have any questions about Chapter of the Year, you can email the state adviser, Monty Rhodes at monty@georgiafbla.org.
