Auburn Club Excellence Program

The Auburn Club Excellence (ACE) Program was developed to recognize contributions by all Auburn Clubs at different levels. Auburn Clubs are recognized and awarded annually at the Club Leadership Conference. There are (7) individual club awards and (3) ACE levels.

In order to maintain a charter, clubs must meet all the requirements of the 10 commandments. The individual club awards are designed to recognize outstanding contributions in specific areas by a club. The ACE levels are designed to recognize clubs' continuous efforts to improve. Clubs must fulfill each of the requirements on a particular level in order to be considered. Each level is an extension of the 10 commandments; they represent going over and above the basic principles of the 10 commandments. The details listed under each level are to serve as a guideline.

The award recipients will be based upon application submissions reviewed by a committee determined the Auburn Club Program Coordinator. Deadline for entry will be the first Friday in January.

• Club Awards (except the Endowment Excellence Award) require a minimum 1 page description of the club's achievement in the award area.
• ACE levels will be based upon an application and submitted reports/documentation throughout the year.
