Membership Awards

Post All-Time High Award. This certificate is awarded to posts that have enrolled an advance membership for the year about to start equaling or surpassing the post’s previous all-time high membership by Dec. 31 of that year. 

Post Honor Ribbon. Honor ribbons are awarded to posts whose membership for the current membership year (as of Dec. 31) achieves an advance membership (for the year about to begin) equal to or greater than the final membership for the year ending. Certification forms must be submitted to the Membership Division by Jan. 31. The application is on page 13 of the National Membership Awards Program Manual.

General John J. Pershing Honor Award. This plaque is awarded annually to the department with the greatest percentage of posts receiving the Post Honor Ribbon for achieving 100% or more of their previous year’s membership enrolled for the coming year by Dec. 31, and having reported the achievement to National Headquarters no later than Jan. 31.
