Presidential Award of Excellence (PAOE) Points
Staying active with PAOE ensures your chapter stays on track with membership. Each year the winners of the Blue, Red, and Green Ribbons are determined, based on the success of their previous membership year (July1 through June 30). One chapter from each region is awarded (unless there is a tie). The wining chapters are determined by the number of membership based PAOE points acquired. Blue Ribbon winners are the chapter in each region with the most Membership Promotion points on the PAOE totals.
Red Ribbon winners are the chapter in each region with the second highest Membership Promotion points on the PAOE totals. Green Ribbon winners are the chapter in each region with the highest percentage of online renewals. |
