COTY Award

Chapter of the Year Award Application Form


Nominate Chapter Award Winners All Year Long 

Most of us have a hard time remembering what we did last week let alone what someone in our Chapter did months ago. So instead of asking for Chapter award nominations in the spring like we’ve done in the past, we’d like our members to think about it each month and submit them throughout the year, while it’s still fresh in our minds. 

This is especially applicable to the Vendor of the Year award, which is based on what our vendors do for us during the year that would be labeled outstanding service. This isn’t an award about what the vendor has done for the Chapter (the vendors are extremely supportive of our Chapter). This award focuses on what the vendor has done for the members, and a short explanation of what the vendor did to deserve the nomination is required. 

Please take a few moments to read through the award definitions, because they changed last year.

Award Nominations Short Form

Completed forms or questions can be directed to Brenda Bormann at brenda.bormann@schwans.com  or 507-537-8900 Ext. 2432. 

Thanks for your nominations!
