2026 CHAPTER ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNERS ANNOUNCED

Congratulations to the 26 chapters recognized with inaugural AGO Chapter Achievement Awards.

The awards program was established this year by the Committee on Membership Development and Chapter Support (COMDACS) to recognize excellence in programming, education, membership, community outreach, and communications activities. Entries were judged by a panel including COMDACS, AGO Marketing Committee, and Chapter Specialist Support Team members. The winners represented every AGO region, and ranged in size from 13 to more than 200 members. Innovative activities and best practices will be shared with all chapters, in an effort to support and strengthen the AGO at the local level.
