Professional Development AwardGiven to chapters who demonstrate outstanding PD and CM programs. NMA tracks your points automatically. Minimum number of “required points to win” is calculated by chapter size:

Minimum Points = .1 x your # of members + 50Example: A chapter with 1000 members needs a minimum of 150 points to achieve “award winning” status (.1 x 1000 = 100, then add 50 = 150 points)(Note: chapters with fewer than 50 members only need 35 points.)

Must also submit monthly R-1 Reports, the name of their PD Chair, have a current B-3 on file, and need to earn at least 5 points in R-1 section B-6 under Certified Manager (CM)…and earn Superior Awd.

Classes must occur during the current administrative year
