In July 1992, the Local Activities Board (LAB) of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) established the Professional Chapter Excellence Program to encourage quality and recognize the accomplishments of its professional chapters, i.e., its general interest and local SIG chapters. Quality is demonstrated by the service a chapter provides to its community and its members and by its contribution to the missions of ACM. There are two types of award, Chapter Excellence Awards and Innovative Idea of the Year Awards. To date, there have been five Quality Chapters and two Chapters of Excellence. In order to be eligible for application to the program, a professional chapter must be chartered by the LAB, have no less than three ACM members, have elected officers who are voting members of ACM and have filed the chapter activity and financial reports with ACM Headquarters by August 30th of the award year. This year, the official award year is October 1, 1994 through June 30th, 1995. Reports must have been filed by August, 1994.
