The Chapter of the Year Program was designed to recognize and acknowledge the extraordinary efforts and performance of local Chapter leaders and Members – “The heartbeat of the Association”.  The Chapters listed above, in order of completion, have clearly established themselves as leaders within the Association of 800 plus Chapters, and we applaud them for their 2008 accomplishments and encourage all to continue their leadership qualities for the 2009 CHOY Program.

Thanks to all the Chapters, Districts, and Regions that supported this program in 2008; and if all Chapters set their goal to become NUMBER ONE in 2009, we will continue the growth and strength for the Association.

Jim & Shirrin Hutchens
Directors, Chapter of the Year Program
