McKee-Tosh Award

The Rhonda McKee and Don Tosh Outstanding Chapter Award is granted biennially to recognize an active chapter which exemplifies the purposes of KME. The award is named in honor of Rhonda McKee of MO Beta and Don Tosh of MO Theta, both of whom provided exemplary leadership for their local chapters for many years. Chapters are eligible to receive this award at most once every ten years. More than one Outstanding Chapter Award may be granted in a given biennium. The National Council will decide the amount of the award, which is currently $500. A plaque will also be presented to each chapter receiving the award.
