Awards & Honors
Many hands make light work! We have been recognized and awarded honors at a state level for the last 15 years and counting. There is always room for more hands and fun.
Chapter awards from the state include awards for continuing excellence for our newsletter and annual yearbook. In 2023, we also received the President's Award from Alpha Iota State as well as the Award of the Rose.
Additionally, our chapter awards lifetime achievement pins to members as well as selecting a Chapter Woman of Distinction each year. We also present members with anniversary pins every five years of membership.
