NACBA requires that all chapters report their activities to the national office through two report forms. These forms are available online. A print version is available for planning.

Chapter Meeting Report:

After each chapter meeting submit a brief (3 to 5 minutes to complete) report of your event. This will include location, number attending, speaker, speaker topic and brief description. It also provides you with information on your chapter in the national database and allows you to send requests to national. This report replaces the need to submit a spring and fall report.

Chapter Achievement Report:

In early June, before NACBA’s annual conference, you will complete the Chapter Achievement Report to summarize the year ending May 31st. Your chapter will be awarded points accordingly.  You will be asked for documentation to be sent to the national office along with your Chapter Achievement Report, either by e-mail or snail mail of material and events that have not been previously reported to the national office.  This report can be used as a guide to help you plan for the following year. By collecting needed information throughout the year you will earn maximum points for your chapter, and make future reporting simpler.

  • List new officers if your chapter has held elections since June 1st.  Please list all officers, their church names and addresses, phone numbers and E-mail addresses.  Send this information to Ruth Swingle in the national office. This helps to direct chapter correspondence to the correct person.

  • Plan your chapter program schedule for the year, then e-mail (ruth@nacba.net) or mail it to Ruth in the NACBA office.

  • Track your membership growth during the year beginning June 1st, listing all new chapter members as you go.

  • Help start a new chapter in your area.

  • Plan seminars or workshops and award CEUs (see guidelines and get forms from the Chapter Builder section of the NACBA Web site – www.nacba.net).  Keep a record of these CEU events and copies of the notices sent to chapter members.

  • Keep a file of all your meeting notices, newsletters, and e-mail notices sent to your chapter members – the more, the better!  Be sure to include your Ruth Swingle in the NACBA national office (ruth@nacba.net) in your chapter mailings or e-mail notices.

  • Make financial contributions to the NACBA national budget and/or the NACBA Endowment Fund. The Endowment Fund earnings provide scholarships to NACBA members for certification seminars or conference registration. 

  • Award a chapter scholarship of $250 to someone in your chapter to help him or her attend national conference or a certification seminar.

  • Promote the upcoming National Conference at each meeting!

  • Turn in your chapter reports on time to earn points.

  • Encourage all chapter members to become members of the National Association – your chapter earns points for this and for NEW (1st time) national members from your chapter.  You can check to see if or when a chapter member joined national by going to the NACBA Web site, logging in, and doing a search in the directory. Each record has a “member since” date.  If the chapter member joined since the most recent June 1st, your chapter earns points.

  • Chapter members with FCBA Certification – check this on the NACBA Web site directory as well.

If you do not have adequate information on data related to national question you may call Ruth Swingle in the NACBA office (800-898-8085), or e-mail her at ruth@nacba.net for assistance.

  • Chapter members enrolled in NACBA certification programs

  • Chapter members attending the last conference

  • Chapter members obtaining re-certification at the last conference

  • Chapter members who have participated in the National Salary Survey during the current association year from July 1 – June 30
