Couple of the Year



Chapter W COY

Jennifer Knight & Bill Martyn Our 2010 Couple of the Year

GWRRA's Couple of the Year Program was instituted in 1988 as a successor to the nine-year tradition of selecting a Wing Ding Queen to serve as ambassador for the association. A program which began as a way to honor couples at the local level, and to select enthusiastic duos to serve as ambassadors and spokespersons for GWRRA, has evolved into a useful tool for identifying and helping prepare couples for leadership positions within the organization.

The Couple of the Year Program has 2 purposes:

1. First and foremost, the program provides an opportunity for local Chapters to recognize and honor a couple each year for their dedication, accomplishments and participation within the Chapter.

2. Secondly, it establishes a process for identifying outstanding couples who can serve their Districts, Regions and ultimately the international GWRRA organization as ambassadors and spokespersons.

At the Chapter level, being selected a Chapter Couple of the Year is an honor bestowed on a deserving couple who has shown dedication and commitment to their Chapter. Being selected as Chapter Couple of the Year is just like being presented an award.
