Dear John,

Congratulations on reaching the Silver Chapter Recognition level!EAA is thrilled to help EAA Chapter 485 celebrate this achievement. Your chapter will be mailed a banner to proudly display where your chapter meets. Your level also will be displayed online at EAA.org/ FindAChapter with a specially designed emblem. You’re encouraged to use it on your website, newsletter, and other promotional materials. EAA Chapter 485’s custom emblem will be attached to a follow up to this email. This program was created to recognize chapters that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to general aviation. Developed in partnership with EAA’s Chapter Advisory Council, it’s based on 10 criteria that are consistently found in active and engaged chapters. Each is worth a point, and there are three levels of recognition: bronze (7 out of 10), silver (8 out of 10), and gold (at least 9 out of 10).
