The Outstanding Section Award (formally called the Section Activities Award) is designed to encourage and promote active involvement by ITE sections and chapters in activities, promotion, and the purpose and objectives of ITE. It recognizes the overall quality of the activities, whether technical or non-technical, and may include meetings, committees, reports, seminars and training programs, student participation, career guidance, membership campaigns, or public relations activities. The District winner will be forwarded to ITE International for the International level Outstanding Section Award.
2022 Outstanding Section – Illinois
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the varying city and municipal policies, ILITE continued to experience challenges in conducting in-person events and hosting as many networking events for its members and nonmembers. However, the Illinois Section was able to pivot to virtual platforms and even managed to host successful in-person socials in the summer and late fall. They continued some new initiatives begun in 2019 to make some positive changes and to encourage member activity. Their application for this award was a comprehensive summary of activities that demonstrated their Section’s progress throughout the year, as well as their dedication to the transportation industry and to the continued success of ITE.
