CRC Resources

  • Sharing Our Success (SOS): The SOS program helps chapters improve through sharing easy-to-use ideas, resources, and practices in the areas of communication, contribution to the community, membership, and the development of programs, products, and services. If your chapter has a best practice, sample form, or template to share, submit your SOS best practice
  • Chapter of the Month (COM): The COM program highlights a chapter each month that deserves special recognition. Recipients must have had an approved SOS accepted, be Chapter Affiliation Requirements (CARE) achieved, and have not been recognized within the past 18 months.
