What is the Couple of the Year (COY) Program?
[Back to top] The COY program, which is managed by the Member Enhancement Division, was started in 1988 as a way to recognize Members by selecting a couple that represents the best qualities and ideals of GWRRA and its Members. The program starts at the Chapter level with “Chapter COY,” and then through a friendly selection process, COYs at the District, Region and National levels are selected and recognized. These COYs normally serve for one year. At the National level, the term “International COY” is used because the competition at that level includes Region COYs from both the U.S. and Canada. (For more information, please see the “COY Guide,” available from your Chapter Director or at http://med.gwrra.org/guides/coy/Couple.
