When you take a close look at the accomplishments and activities of the Washington, DC Section of ITE (WDCSITE), it's easy to see why the Section won the 2020 ITE Section/Chapter Momentum Award. In 2019, the Section increased average attendance at meetings by more than 21 percent, and saw a 76 percent increase in total event attendance. A global pandemic has not deterred the Section from keeping its members engaged. When COVID-19 related restrictions struck in March 2020, the Section guickly pivoted to offering virtual meetings-first for its Board, which has continued meeting monthly throughout the pandemic, and then for its first virtual Section meeting in May. The Section got creative and comfortable with the nontraditional format, planning activities like a virtual background contest to inject a spirit of lightheartedness and community. |
