Mu Gamma Chapter Awards and Recognitions

The Mu Gamma Chapter was awarded this specific award in the years 2009, 2013, 2019 and 2021.

"Many chapters have exceptional programming. Others have fantastic leaders. Still others have active and highly involved members. It takes a very special chapter to excel at all three. For these particular chapters, KDP offers the opportunity to earn recognition through the Achieving Chapter Excellence Award, or the ACE. The highest scoring of all entries is named the Dr. Florence B. Stratemeyer Award for Chapter Excellence." (Source: www.kdp.org)
