Each state association application is assessed on the states' achievement of its established goals and objectives, the quality of its newsletter, the quality of its educational programs, and the state membership's involvement in NAHQ.

NAHQ State Association Subcategory Award
The NAHQ State Association Subcategory Awards have been created in addition to the Award for Association Excellence to allow flexibility in recognizing states that excel in one of the subcategories of the larger award. States may compete for 4 separate subcategory awards. These awards will give states the opportunity to participate in the awards process and show their strengths in a specific area when they perhaps cannot compete for the larger award for overall excellence.
