NCSBA Golden Achievement Program (GAP) Updates

December 18, 2019 By Jessica Mjelde

Great news for GAP in 2020! 

All Chapters will be eligible to submit their Golden Achievement Program (GAP) book highlighting their Chapter’s activities and accomplishments from January 1 – December 31, 2020 to be recognized by the NCSBA as a “Golden Achievement Chapter”, regardless of whether they have previously been recognized or not. This is an opportunity for all Chapters who meet the GAP minimum requirements to be recognized and receive a $300 grant from the NCSBA. This is only for 2020, so Chapters, start planning for 2020 now to take advantage of this opportunity! The GAP Committee is hoping to receive a record number of GAP submissions. We would love to recognize and reward your Chapter for promoting and supporting NC beekeeping. 

Unfortunately, Chapters who received NCSBA GAP Chapter of the Year for 2020 (To be announced during the summer meeting), 2019 (Orange), and 2018 (Albermarle) are not eligible to participate.

Each year one NCSBA Chapter will be awarded the title of “Golden Achievement Chapter of the Year” and a $700 grant from the NCSBA to fund a service project of the Chapter’s choosing. 

Please contact GAP Committee co-chairs Elizabeth Towe (towe.elizabeth@yahoo.com) or Ray Maxwell (shelbybeek@gmail.com) with any questions.
