How many Torch points are required to earn the DIPLOMAT Torch Award, and at what level is it awarded?

• A. 30 points; Chapter, Regional, or State level depending on the state
• B. 10 points; Chapter level
• C. 50 points; State level
• D. 60 points; Regional level

Answer: (A)

Torch points reflect your involvement and service in BPA activities, and the DIPLOMAT level is earned by reaching 30 Torch points. How that recognition is awarded isn’t fixed everywhere—some states present it at the Chapter level, others at Regional or State levels depending on how their BPA program is organized. The other point totals don’t fit this level, and the stated awarding level doesn’t apply uniformly across all states. If you want the exact rule for your state, check with your state BPA advisor or guidelines.
