“KPMG Gold Challenge”
Sponsored by KPMG LLP
BAP recognizes that many chapters often go above and beyond what is required to become a Superior Chapter. In an effort to reward these chapters, The KPMG Foundation is working with BAP to sponsor the KPMG Gold Challenge, a competition that will provide an annual monetary award to several top chapters. Eligible chapters will be required to submit a 10-minute video presentation which explains and/or demonstrates why their chapter deserves the KPMG Gold Challenge award. The winning chapters will be announced during a plenary session at the Annual BAP Conference being held August 6-8, 2009.
Eligibility
To be eligible to participate, teams must meet the following criteria:
- Must have been a Superior Chapter Member for School year 2008
- Must be a Superior Chapter Member for School year 2009
- Must have participated in a Regional Meeting (i.e. Meeting host/co-host, Chapter operations presentation, or Best Practice Competition)
- Must have participated in a National Meeting (i.e. Meeting host/co-host, Chapter operations presentation, or Best Practice Competition)
