What’s the difference between CEI and CMP?
One of the biggest differences between CEI and CMP is that CMP has 3 tiers (Accredited Chapter, Chapter of Recognition, and Chapter of Excellence) whereas CEI only had one tier. In the CEI Program, each submission was given a specific point value and the expectation was to receive 100 points. In the CMP, the point values were removed and the goal is now 100% completion and 95% approval of all submissions for the Accredited Chapter Level. In the CEI Program, chapters did not automatically receive recognition—they needed to apply for Honor Roll or Honorable Mention. With the CMP, chapters who achieve higher levels automatically receive recognition for those levels.
