The Presidential Award for Chapter Excellence (PACE) was started in 1997 to recognize chapters for their positive impact on their membership, their profession, and their communities.
Chapters are judged by membership, service to chapter members, advancement of the backflow industry, and service to their community.
Since 1997 the Carolina's Chapter of the ABPA has won every year
