BBYO Chapter Excellence Checklist and Awards Logo

  • BBYO Chapter Excellence Assessment

  • Chapters come in all shapes and sizes and are the core of our Movement. Planning as a chapter should be an ongoing conversation between chapter leaders, advisors and staff around your goals and celebrating progress. 

    Chapter Excellence is a journey—no chapter is perfect and there's no such thing as a good or a bad chapter. With the results of your Chapter Excellence Assessment, explore tools to help you grow in the BBYO Toolbox. 

    If you’re a newer chapter or looking for something simpler, check out the Chapter Excellence Checklist. If you're just getting started, check out the Start Up Chapter Phase on our Chapter Building Roadmap. 

    By filling out this toolkit, you also have the option to apply for the Miriam Albert Chapter Excellence Award, Henry Monsky Chapter Excellence Award, or Maurice Bisgyer Chapter Excellence Award. Please note that only Permanent AZA, BBG, and BBYO Chapters are eligible for Chapter Excellence Awards. 

  • How to Use the Checklist

  • Evaluate Often: Chapters should evaluate their progress at the beginning and end of each semester. This should be a part of chapter board training and offboarding. 

    Hands On Deck: Chapter leaders, advisors, and staff should work together to fill this out. We recommend having people fill it out individually and then compare assessments.

    Numbers are Guides: The percentages of each category help you identify areas to grow and focus. This is not to determine if you have a good or bad chapter. 

    The Scale: All standard descriptions are written at at Level 3 - Beginning Proficiency.
