Chapter Recognition Program

The Chapter Recognition Program (CRP) is a noncompetitive
program recognizing a chapter’s performance in relation
to a standard or benchmark linked to AGA’s mission. The
objective of the CRP is to support, encourage and promote
the accomplishment of AGA’s mission, and to provide flexible
noncompetitive guidelines for a well-rounded chapter.  Above
all, the CRP is a planning guide to be used before the start of
the program year, with results reviewed throughout the year by
the chapter president or designee.

How to participate in the Chapter Recognition Program

Visit AGA National Office Web Site and enter the Members Only

using your AGA ID number as your login and your first initial

navigational button called “Chapter Recognition Program” for
