This recognition is a confirmation that we are moving in the right direction. The chapter is extremely thankful for the support we have and continue to receive from the Department of Emergency Management and Public Administration, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and all the faculty and staff therein. Without their constant advocacy and guidance, we would not be where we are today."

The chapter's active involvement in academic, professional, and community activities has significantly contributed to its success and recognition as a leader in the field of emergency management.
