Essay materials might include items such as meeting agendas and synopses, brief descriptions of outreach projects and related publicity, or a list of get-out-the-vote activities and impact statements. It may be helpful to think in terms of what the local does (including when and where), why the local does it, how it is accomplished, and what the impact is, though this approach is not required.
On-line application materials should be a collection of uploaded information reflecting the four major areas. Include a 100-word or fewer essay (4 in total) detailing your chapter's specific goals and achievements in each area.

Scrapbook submissions are no longer required or accepted.

Examples for Community Outreach, Teacher Quality, and Political Action:
• Strategic Meetings—including meeting topics, guest speakers, special seminars & forums
• Projects—including activities, events, long-term programs, etc.
• Public Relations—including newsletters, websites, e-mail updates, publicity
• Partnerships—with whom is the state working and how are the groups working together?
• Affecting change—what impact is the state program making?
