Annual Chapter Contests

Chapter of the Year Contest (COTY)

The PayrollOrg Chapter of the Year Contest (COTY) provides chapters with an opportunity to be recognized for their tremendous support of PayrollOrg's membership.

Participating in this prestigious contest gives chapters the opportunity to share their developments, accomplishments, innovations, and activities throughout the year. It also allows the chapter to conduct a self-evaluation of its procedures and accomplishments and to set goals for the upcoming year.

From the COTY contest entries, four Gavel Awards also are presented. The Gavel Awards recognize specific achievements, activities, or aspects of a chapter's COTY entry in four separate categories:

  • Innovator
  • Mentor
  • Facilitator
  • Communicator

Contest entries are due February 7, 2025.
