Contests

Contests recognize outstanding dues-paid members, officers, advisors, clubs, and divisions who have gone above and beyond in serving their communities! Several types of contests are available for everyone to participate in, most of which require an E-Portfolio submission.

You are NOT competing against other submissions; the E-Portfolio is graded based on a rubric.
