The Outstanding State Chapter Award has been the most prestigious award given by ITS America to a State Chapter for the development of superb programming, fostering the highest qualities of leadership among members, advocating ITS at the state and regional levels, and providing superb value to membership.  ITS America's Board of Directors and State Chapters Council recognizes the accomplishments of its top chapters each year during a special ceremony at the ITS America Annual Meeting & Exhibition.  Starting in 2011, awards have been given for Outstanding State Chapter and Membership Growth.  Winners from previous years are listed below.
