• B. Quality chapter, bronze & silver, gold, platinum
• C. Chapter Excellence, Chapter of Distinction, Models of Excellence, Merit Chapter

Answer: (A)

In CEP, chapters advance through a structured, four-tier recognition that mirrors growing excellence in leadership, service, and chapter operations. The first level is Quality Chapter, showing solid fundamentals and sound chapter management. The next level, Chapter of Distinction with Bronze and Silver, indicates growing performance and impact as criteria are met at higher levels. The following tier is Chapter of Distinction Gold, reflecting even stronger achievement and sustained outcomes. The top tier, Models of Excellence, honors chapters that exemplify outstanding practices and serve as exemplary models for others. This progression gives chapters clear targets for development and a path to share best practices across the program.
