R.H. Nagel Most Improved Chapter Award

The 1971 Convention established an annual Most Improved Chapter Award to recognize major improvement in chapter development, including project work and headquarters reports, in one year as compared with previous years. Judging is by a committee of student delegates at the annual Convention, and the winners are announced. The 1983 Convention re-named the prize as the R.H. Nagel Most Improved Chapter Award.
