AZA AND BBG PROGRAMMING FOLDS UPDATE
In a historic moment, the AZA & BBG Executive Body voted to establish Health as the 6th (AZA) and 7th (BBG) Programming Folds. Programming Folds are the guiding principles that chapters use to plan fun, engaging, and meaningful programming, and have not been modified since their establishment in the 1920s and 1940s. We take our ongoing commitment to health and wellness very seriously and we can’t wait to see how you all continue to integrate Health into your experience. Read more about this historic moment in The Shofar.
