MERIT AWARD

The Middle School Merit Award is a membership engagement-focused challenge that chapters may complete for national recognition. Chapters work toward building a basic program of work through a calendar of activities to complete throughout the year. Recognition will be given at the Middle School and High School National Leadership Conference to the top 10 states and top 10 local chapters based on the number of point accumulated and quality of entries.
