SACNAS chapters are extremely active in their communities and on their campus locations. Each year, the SACNAS Chapter Committee honors a number of chapters for their outstanding level of achievement in public service, mentoring, leadership, and/or community outreach. Chapters are evaluated—based on annual reports (see below)—on a number of criteria including accuracy of information submitted, retention of chapter members, innovation of activities and outreach, leadership training, fundraising efforts, and other aspects unique to the chapter.
