Dr. Lea Dopson ESD Chapter of Distinction Award 

Purpose

The purpose of the annual ESD Chapter of Distinction Award is to recognize a leading local chapter for their efforts in advancing our five points of honor: Creativity, Ethics, Excellence, Leadership, and Service.

Application Procedure

ESD chapters must apply by the deadline, to be considered for a Chapter of Distinction Award. This award is open only to active ESD chapters who adhered to the ESD bylaws by holding at least one initiation ceremony during the past year, organizing at least one service project, and using the “proposed theme” approved by Chapter Advisors at this year’s annual summer ICHRIE Conference ESD Chapter Advisor meeting. Each year, the Board of Governors selects an annual theme for ESD Student Chapters to integrate into all activities, speakers, community service, and professional development.

Only activities pursued during the most recent academic year should be included in the application packet. Submission materials must include a completed application form along with a detailed statement describing how their local chapter upheld the five ESD Points of Honor. Supplemental documentation and materials are encouraged, however, please limit the total page count including attachments to 10 pages. Photographs are welcomed as well.

The ESD Board of Governors will review the applications in late May and will notify the awardee(s) in June. The Dr. Lea Dopson ESD Chapter of Distinction Award plaque will be awarded at the annual ICHRIE Global Conference.
