Although the actual submission process will not be available until 1 November 2010, the Chapter Key Award form is available for download now to track points for the chapter. All nominations for the Chapter Key Award are required to download and complete the Chapter Key Award Form (Excel spreadsheet). Please note, without this form, the nomination will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed. All submissions are online this biennium. The Chapter Key Award form is the only supporting material required for a Chapter Key Award nomination. Chapters may upload other documentation to support answers in the Chapter Key form.
Please note the downloadable Excel spreadsheet is password protected. Chapters will only be able to enter information into the allowed fields. To download the required Chapter Key Award Form, simply right-click on the "Chapter Key Award form" link and then select "Save as" or "Save Target as" and then save the file to your computer. We recommend saving the file with the name "chaptername_cka2011.xls"
