Member Awards
GBTA Austin Chapter is proud of all our members. We have been fortunate enough to have some chapter members win awards, recognizing them for their dedication and hard work in the travel/hospitality industry.
The Chapter Presidents Council of GBTA, recognizes a select few members from around the country to be awarded the Business Travel Service Award (BTS Award) and is one of GBTA's most prestigious awards.
This prestigious award is for members who have distinguished themselves as industry leaders who have devoted themselves to their company, their association (both local and national), their fellow business associates and have made contributions to the business travel industry.

Member of the Year
GBTA Austin Chapter appreciates all the support from our chapter members each and every year. However, we like to recognize a member each year for going above and beyond their member role to help make our chapter be one of the best in GBTA. By attending our monthly meetings, being actively involved with our committees, attending educational sessions to help further their career and inviting future members to our meetings all played part in the selection process.
GBTA Austin Chapter is very honored to have these members represent our chapter. We thank them for all their dedication and participation!
A big THANK YOU to our Member of the Year sponsors for helping show our thanks!
