Delta Sigma Pi presents the Outstanding Professional Activities Award annually to the collegiate chapter that plans and implements the most effective and comprehensive program of professional development. Successful programs focus on practical experience as well as business ethics and integrity. In addition to one national winner, the Fraternity also recognizes regional and provincial recipients.
The national winner of the Outstanding Professional Activities award, along with the four provincial winners, receive grants made possible by the Boyd Professional Development Fund. Sean, George Mason, and Andrea Boyd, California-Riverside, set up the fund to help chapters further their development in providing excellent professional activities.
Chapters receiving the award are recognized at Grand Chapter Congress or a LEAD School and in The DELTASIG. Winning chapters also receive a certificate commemorating their selection.
