Throughout 2019 EAA monitored various chapter activities such as Young Eagles, IMC/VMC clubs, technical counselor support, pancake breakfasts, chapter leadership development, and more. The chapters that showed a high level of engagement in each of these activities were recognized via the Chapter Recognition program.
EAA developed the Chapter Recognition program in 2018 as a way to celebrate the impact individual EAA chapters have on the local aviation community. EAA uses 10 criteria to gauge chapter activity, impact, and improvement. At the end of the calendar year, chapters are recognized for reaching certain levels of activity and engagement. Chapters that score 7 out of 10 are recognized as Bronze, 8 out of 10 are Silver, and any chapters scoring at least 9 out of 10 are recognized as Gold Level. The chapters scoring within these levels are presented with a commemorative banner to hang at their local airport and are recognized on EAA's Find a Chapter webpage.
