Top Ten Leaderboard Shake-Up: Who’s Making a Move?

Make your contribution by October 1st for Convention signage recognition!

The SMAC-AF Challenge continues, and Convention is getting closer! Southern California remains at the top of the standings, with Oregon & SW Washington in second and Metropolitan Detroit holding third. But there is still time for chapters throughout the rankings to add to their totals and make a run at the leaders:

Here are the Top Ten Chapters as of Sept. 27, 2026:

1	SMACNA Southern California
2	SMACNA Oregon & SW Washington
3	SMACNA Metropolitan Detroit Chapter
4	Georgia-SMACNA, Inc.
5	Sheet Metal Contractors Assn. of Oklahoma, Inc.

7	Sheet Metal Contractors Association of Philadelphia & Vicinity
8	NYC SMACNA - S/M & AC Contrs. Assn. of New York City, Inc.
9	SMACNA Boston, Inc.
10	SMACNA - Cleveland

Who’s Closing the Gap?

Making a Move: Georgia-SMACNA surged up the leader board, jumping from 10th place to the No. 4 slot, claiming a spot in the Top Five. The jump reshuffled the rankings, bumping Western Oklahoma into the No. 5 slot and driving SMACNA-Cleveland from 8th to 10th place.

Closing In: SMACNA Western Washington is now just $163 away from moving back into the Top Five!

Special Recognition: Congratulations to North Carolina SMACNA for reaching Platinum status in the Capitol Caucus.
