The Chapter Awards Program (MICAP) is an instructional enrichment program for marketing education. The program is designed for chapters to develop a well-rounded program of work and is based on chapter achievement accompanied with an awards program for chapter recognition.
The Chapter Awards Program will provide recognition at three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
The level of recognition will be determined by the number and type of activities a chapter completes in each of the following categories:
- Membership Development
- Community Oriented
- Experienced Leaders
- Academically Prepared
- Professionally Responsible
- Promotion/Public Relations
Chapters will claim credit for activities by submitting an activity report and visual documentation. Chapters will submit their reports to the state office for verification of the award achievement level.
Chapter Award Program activities must take place between May 1, 2026 and February 1, 2027.
The Chapter Awards Program should be initiated early in the year, so chapter members will realize the greatest benefits of their involvement. A thorough orientation of the purpose and operation of the program is vital for the preparation of the members.
Use your creativity when creating your documentation and section heading pages. MICAP is a book that you should want to show off to future marketing classes to explain and showcase your DECA activities.
