REQUIREMENTS
2010-2011 Graduate Chapter Requirements
The basic requirements outlined below are the minimum requirements for a chapter to retain its standing as a chapter in the Net Impact network.
Chapters meeting silver and gold requirements receive special recognition and benefits as a result of their accomplishments. Net Impact Central keeps track of each chapter’s compliance with the basic requirements as well as the progress toward silver or gold standing from May 2010 through April 2011. Chapter standings are publicized in September.
Silver chapters go above and beyond minimum chapter requirements by contributing to other chapters' success through their engagement with the chapter leader network and by meeting other benchmarks of success. To become a silver chapter, you must meet the silver requirements.
Gold chapters make outstanding contributions to the Net Impact network by collaborating with other chapters and cooperating with Net Impact Central to achieve other strategic goals. To become a gold chapter, your chapter must meet all of the silver and gold requirements.
