The President’s Chapter Awards encourage and recognize active, forward-looking chapters, based
on a calculation in six categories, including attendance, communications, and growth, to name a few. The qualifiers for 2015−2016 were: Atlantic, Calgary, Edmonton, Grand Valley, Ottawa, Regina, Saskatoon, Toronto, Vancouver, Vancouver Island, and Winnipeg.However, the year’s ‘best’ chapter is always the one recognized with the Lloyd Boddy lectern. This Chapter of the Year Award takes a holistic look, with the association president, immediate past-president, and executive director evaluating the local groups based on membership stability, professional development and networking opportunities, and ‘spirit.’ This year, the prestigious prize went to the Winnipeg Chapter.
