Banner Years

Competition History 

The institute, in creating chapters early in its existence, assumed an obligation to utilize all appropriate means for assisting those chapters in fulfilling their responsibilities and achieving their goals.  This assistance in the early years was accomplished through memoranda, correspondence and other communications.  A system was developed early for periodic payments to chapter treasuries based on their membership.

An annual competition among chapters was inaugurated in 1924 at the suggestion of Charles R. Stevenson, who donated a trophy to be awarded the winner.  The following year, a system of payments to chapters was incorporated in the competition.  Various other trophies and awards have been introduced through the ensuing years to provide additional recognition for high performance and excellence of operations.

Four Major Objectives

  1. Planning of chapter activities by officers and directors in the late spring and early summer.
  2. Establishing standards of good performance through a constant appraisal of point values and balance of activities in the competition by the Committee on Member Services.
  3. Measuring actual performance against the standards as evidenced in the reporting of activities and point awards reflected in the monthly standings in the competition.
  4. Awarding incentives such as trophies, banners and awards for excellence in planning, performance and reporting of chapter activities.
