About Itea Chapters
Chapters
ITEA Chapters, through their local service to members, are the cornerstone of the Association. The Test and Evaluation community is a family connected by unique initiatives and common goals and ITEA is the only association dedicated solely to the community’s success.
Each Chapter, organized by region, provides a diverse network of individuals that support the test and evaluation community. Led by a Chapter President and Executive Committee, the dedicated, volunteer members advance the mission of ITEA by educating the T&E workforce.
INITIATIVES
Implement a robust scholarship program for your local school or STEAM program. Gain visibility within your Command/Organization by hosting a local chapter technical exchange, networking social, or luncheon with guest speaker.
Earn scholarship dollars by hosting a major ITEA event. The all-volunteer chapter can host an ITEA sponsored workshop, conference, or symposia and reap the benefits of earning scholarship dollars for their local STEAM program or individual students attending higher education institutions in the fields of study that align with T&E.
Promote professional recognition by running a campaign to boost the submission process for the ITEA Test & Evaluation Professional Awards program within your community.
Promote professional growth by sponsoring an educational course at your Command/Organization. ITEA brings a cadre of instructors to you with topics that mean the most in your organization.

Hampton Roads Chapter Highlights STEAM Competition and Scholarships
The Future T&E Workforce Development Shifts Left
The Hampton Roads Chapter hosted the STEAMhack™ Chain Reaction Challenge at the Cybersecurity Workshop the last week of August in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This is a speed-building event where teams of 3-6 high school students receive a kit of materials and about 3 hours to build the most impressive chain reaction-style machine. The students had to “Catch a Meteor” by building machines to launch and catch a meteor, and integrate the reason for catching a meteor into the story described by the team prior to the triggering of the chain reaction.
We are grateful to the leaders who served as the judges for this competition, Chris Collins, Executive Director, Development Test, Evaluation, and Assessments, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense (Research & Engineering), Justine Gayle, Vice President at Booz Allen Hamilton, and Kaila Perry, Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic 5G. At the end of the day long event, the students were treated to a reception where they were awarded a John V. Bolino Scholarship! First place winners were from Granby High School received $1000, second place $750 Princess Anne High School, and third place $500, Ocean Lakes High School.
We extend our congratulations to the students for their creative solutions and to the faculty for seeing the value and making this happen on the second day of a new school year!
