Chapter of the Year & Chapter Leaderboard
The Chapter of the Year is selected from the top four chapters in each academic year. Additionally, speaker evaluations and the assessment of the national staff contribute to award selections. Except in unusual circumstances, the same chapter will not win the same award in consecutive years.
