This award was instituted at the annual meeting held in North Charleston, WV, 2004, to recognize the outstanding state newsletters of the year. Over the years, as electronic communications have evolved, so have the criteria for the award. The award was changed in the 2019-20 administrative year to Outstanding Newsletters and Communications with the latter comprising social media and electronic meetings. Typically, but not always, five awards are presented. This award is sponsored by the Texas JCI Senate. [Note: Outstanding newsletters and websites [separated from newsletters award] were recognized prior to the named award. However, not all winners could be located).
