Chapter Achievement Program
Keystones of Excellence
Community Service — Strengthen Your Local Community
IUAA alumni chapters have always embraced community service activities to assist individuals in need or support worthy causes. Through fundraising, volunteer service, donations, and other means of support, chapters play an important role in community service. Participation in community service projects and programs is a worthwhile chapter activity that identifies your chapter as a supportive member of the community, and is another way for alumni to connect with one another.
