The Chapter Stars Recognition Program (CSRP) is intended to recognize Chapters that give their members superior service by providing quality programs designed to advance the professional growth of their members, support the mission and vision of ASSE and make a positive impact on the people, property and environment in their community. The program also serves as a comprehensive strategic plan and model for the chapter. The awards currently given under the CSRP are the Chapter Stars Recognition Award (CSRA) and the American Society of Safety Engineers Chapter of the Year award. Both awards are based on activities of the Chapter during each Chapter year (July 1 to June 30) captured through the Chapter Stars Recognition Program process.
