FJMC International Quality Club Awards
 
Deadline for submission has been extended to June 30, 2026!

Quality Club Award application
for the 2025-2026!

As our June 30th 2026 Quality Club Award (QCA) deadline approaches, we request that all clubs planning to submit an application carefully review all Mandatory and Optional requirements necessary to qualify for the QCA. Over the years, the QCA review committee has learned that quite often some simple requirements often get overlooked by clubs and their QCA submission representative as the club presents and explains their many successful achievements.  

Please ensure that your club’s FJMC dues have been paid. Also, be sure that your club has submitted (or updated) your club’s membership list on FJMC’s Chaverot system. 

The QCA application is available at FJMC.org and you must log into the site to be able to complete it. Be sure to search Awards then look for Quality Club Awards. 

Good luck to all clubs with their QCA application submissions. To be recognized as a Quality Club is a notable achievement and a source of pride for your membership.

Email us with any questions:

In brotherhood,

Robert Cohen, Chair
FJMC Quality Club Award Committee
