Every year, the National Office and Executive Committee recognizes Delta Omega chapters for their efforts in promoting excellence in the field. The chapter awards are announced and presented during our Annual Meeting so that the winning chapters may give a short presentation on their outreach and lessons learned. These presentations are meant to inspire and aid fellow chapters in their engagement efforts and foster idea-sharing among chapters.

Delta Omega Chapter Awards are currently presented for the following sections:

• Chapter of the Year: Presented to the chapter with the highest caliber and occurence of service activities, engagement with members, and overall participation
• Active Chapter: Presented to the chapter that is most active in national initiatives and leads chapter-based activities with high participation from members.
• Chapter Service: Presented to the chapter leading prominent service activities that promote the protection and advancement of the health of all people.
• New Chapter of the Year: Presented to a new chapter that features prominent events, increases in participation, and actively leads service events. To qualify, the chapter must have been established for three full years or less.

Chapter applications are typically due in the fall. When the 2012 submissions period opens we will post further details here.
