The AMA is thrilled to share the award-winning Chapter Plans and Annual Reports from the Top Chapters recognized at the 2025 International Collegiate Conference (ICC).
Reviewing these Top Chapters Plans & Reports will help your chapter improve and assist in preparing your own Chapter Plan and Annual Report for the following academic year.
To be considered for Top Chapter Recognition, a chapter must submit their 2 AMA Collegiate Chapter Affiliation Reports: Chapter Plan (in October) and Annual Report (in February), and CHAPTERS must opt-in to be Judged with both their Chapter Plans and Annual Reports, and must identify the Chapter Division: Small Chapter Division (25 AMA National Members or Less) or Large Chapter Division (26 AMA National Members or more). Both divisions are judged equally based on their AMAZING work throughout the year!
Best Practice Tips:
- Assign each incoming Chapter Leader/E-Board Member 3-4 chapters to read both the Chapter Plans and Annual Reports (great way to gain best practices & insights).
- Have them write down a few ideas from each chapter that they were impressed with or an idea they would like to implement in the coming year.
- Have a brainstorming session in the summer or early in September to hash out everyone’s ideas:
- At this point, you may have too many ideas and not everything will be able to be implemented and maybe not on the scale of the award-winning chapter – but do your best!
- Borrowing a great idea and adapting it to your own collegiate chapter should put you on the road to your own chapter’s success – so get inspired!
- Have your Chapter Plan ready before the deadline date (due in early October) and your Annual Report ready by the start of the New Year (due in late February).
Get inspired – check out the winning Chapter Plans and Annual Reports. Discover some AMAzing ideas and best practices as you plan for the new FY27 academic year.
