FY26 Annual Reports Guidelines – Click Here to Access.

Annual Reports are a required chapter affiliation reporting and must be submitted annually to remain in good standing as an AMA Collegiate Chapter.

For inspiration in building your Annual Report, you can review the winning 2024-2025 Chapter Plans and Annual Reports – Top 25 Collegiate Chapters. Reviewing these reports and plans can help you understand what top chapters are doing and gain insights into developing your report (this is a great resource for new chapters). All Collegiate Chapters are required to submit a Chapter Plan and Annual Report to remain affiliated, regardless if your chapter is competing for a Top Chapters or Functional awards. If your chapter is unable to submit an Annual Report due to circumstances with limited resources, you can submit a temporary report (this report will allow your chapter to remain in good standing. However, they will not be eligible to compete in the Top Chapters or Functional awards). To access the Chapter Plan/Annual Report Temporary Form, click here.

The Annual Report and Chapter Plan form the basis for the judging process for the Annual Recognition Awards Program (Top Chapters and Functional Awards) that are presented at the International Collegiate Conference (ICC), and the Annual Report must be submitted on time during the Spring Semester to qualify for an award. Note: During the submission, don’t forget to indicate if your chapter wants to participate and compete in the judging process for Top Chapters and Functional awards.
