As the National Convention gets closer, the National Executive Board has voted to eliminate the need for the individual Chapters to submit for the “Quality Chapter Award”.

​We have decided to go to a much simpler formulation as we have done in the past. It’s simple, we are going to keep it to increased membership, programs reporting for both semi-annual periods prior to the National Convention and have your Dues and Remittance and Revalidations in on time. It is your job to submit on time and ours to keep track of those items. I sincerely hope that this brings back the prestige and honor of the Quality Chapter award as we enjoy presenting this award. If you have any questions, contact me at hueycchief@yahoo.com.

Please remember to send in your 990’s with your Revalidations, this is imperative to keep your Chapters in good standing with the IRS.

I look forward to seeing as many Riders as can come to Orlando for the National Convention.
