Our congratulations to the Boston Branch on winning a Gold and Sliver medal.
In 2014, the Brockton Area Branch reestablished the ACT-SO program, which begins each Fall with an informing and effective mentoring program. The strength of the Branch’s mentoring program has manifested itself with the Branch’s winning record. Since 2015, the Brockton Area Branch has had at least one contestant to win a medal every year, except for one year, 2018. We have a total of 18 medals since 2015. The students are extraordinary!
