Created in 2003, the ACR® Chapter Recognition Program seeks to:

  • Formally recognize chapter work, successes and innovative ideas.
  • Facilitate the sharing of ideas among chapters to encourage and support the activities of all chapters.

To participate, submit your chapter award forms for the categories you engage in between January and December of the award year.

Submissions are made in four categories:

  • Government Relations.
  • Meetings & Education.
  • Membership.
  • Quality and Safety.
