The ACE Awards Program is a reflection of individual chapter performance, setting a standard for maintaining a well-rounded operation that fosters the professional growth of its members.

Program Objectives
The Achievements in Chapter Excellence (ACE) Awards program is designed to support, encourage and promote AGA’s mission. It provides flexible guidelines to help the development of a well-rounded chapter. The National Council of Chapters (NCC) and AGA National Office want to recognize chapters for the accomplishments that they achieve in a framework that promotes innovation while also supporting chapters that require additional assistance. Therefore, the program focuses on core items that must be completed for a chapter to maintain baseline operations, and rewards varying levels of achievement. The document that you are currently reading is a supplement to the program, providing ideas and effective practices from fellow chapter leaders on methods to try to achieve goals for the year.
