AGCRA Chapter Recognition Program - FY 2024 Chapter Winners

COL (Ret) Rob Manning, President of the Adjutant General’s Corps Regimental Association (AGCRA), announces the winning Chapters of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 AGCRA Chapter Recognition Program. The FY 2024 Program, in its ninth year, covered AGCRA Chapter activities from 1 October 2023 through 30 September 2024.

In the AGCRA Large Chapter category, the 2024 Chapter of the Year is the Fort Knox-based Gold Vault Chapter. This is the fourth year in a row, and the sixth all time, that the Gold Vault Chapter has been named Chapter of the Year. The Gold Vault Chapter also won Chapter of the Year in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The Runner-Up Chapter in the Large Chapter category is the Potomac Chapter.

In the AGCRA Small Chapter category, the 2024 Chapter of the Year, for the ninth year in a row, is Redstone Arsenal’s Rocket City Chapter. The Runner-Up Chapter in the Small Chapter category is the John F. Gathers Global Sergeants Major Chapter.

The Chapters of the Year will each receive an award of $1,000 from the National Executive Council (NEC). The Runner-Up Chapters will each receive an award of $750. Each winning Chapter will also receive a framed recognition certificate signed by the AGCRA President.

The NEC established the Chapter Recognition Program in late 2015 to encourage and support Association Chapters to remain active and consistently engaged in AGCRA membership recruitment and professional development efforts. Historically, the strength of many AGCRA Chapters ebbed and flowed between active and inactive status due to deployments and reassignments, as well as frequent turnover of Chapter Officers. The NEC saw a need to provide recognition, incentive, and rewards for Chapters that remained active and engaged despite personnel turnover.

The AGCRA President will formally recognize winning Chapters at the National AG Ball to be held on June 6, 2025, in Columbia, South Carolina.
