Chapter of the Year
IoPP's regional chapters are an important local networking resource for IoPP members. The competition for this award consists of over 40 regional chapters. The judging criteria are based on points rating various activities that provide benefits to members while increasing awareness for new membership. The Fox Valley chapter was the recipient of this award for 2005 and 2006 for the Small Chapter category as well as the chapter with the most growth in 2006. This is a great achievement and honor for all of us associated with the chapter.

We need your help to identify the activities that are aligned with the goals of the institute. Points are awarded for certain professional activities, but they are difficult to monitor. We will be posting a form that you can use to help us in our points tallying. We thank you in advance for your help. May this be another winning year for our chapter!
