Gold Crown Awards

In This Section

The Gold Crown Awards Program features a streamlined application process where chapters will apply addressing 6 categories: member engagement, community service, advocacy, health & wellness, member communications and professional development & leadership.

The goal of the Gold Crown Awards Program is to recognize the efforts of our chapters to support ASDA’s mission through chapter programming. Addressing the 6 Gold Crown categories showcases the strengths and value that chapters bring to ASDA.

Award Categories
