Chapter Achievement Program



Apologies for the delay, but at last we are ready to start collecting your Chapter Achievement Program information for 2011. This survey is TOTALLY VOLUNTARY and there will be no pressure to participate. It is simply a fun administrative competition. It covers data from the calendar year 2011.

Here's a quick summary of the ground rules:
  1. Specific 2011 rules and a survey template are at the bottom right corner of this web page.
  2. Top 10 Winners will be unveiled at the International Contest in Portland with articles to follow in the Harmonizer.
  3. The survey is for data from the January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 period.
  4. If you're not sure about the data, go ahead and approximate. All top 10 finalist data will be individually verified.
  5. You have until June 1st, 2012 to submit this survey. Any entries received after that date will NOT be counted.

Good luck to all the chapters!

In 2010 we rolled out a survey called the Chapter Achievement Program to demonstrate beneficial programs and activities, encourage our BHS chapters to participate, and allow them to be rewarded for great participation. 333 Chapters participated and the scores are now tallied. The top 10 choruses in the Society are listed to the right.

One very encouraging result is that 328 (98.5%) of the chapters that responded reached out and did something for their community.

Many of our chapter choruses and quartets never make the International competition, and many do not wish to. But many chapters wish they could show off the good things they do achieve – things that help their communities or their chapters or society as a whole. For 333 chapters, the competitive spirit inspired them to participate in 2010. Using this program, even chapters who don't regularly compete in our singing competitions can compete against the larger chapters and track their improvement from year to year.

What's in it for you


You may ask, "What's it going to do for my chapter?" Well, it will simply show you what things the Society thinks are important and how well you are doing compared to other chapters in accomplishing those things. It is also a great tool for Society, District and Chapter leadership to use to determine where we are as a Society and perhaps what we need to be focusing on.
