LIT is honoring its long-standing private sector partners with the inaugural LIT Legacy Membership Award to recognize the companies that helped build LIT's foundation.

After 10 years as a national organization, LIT has grown to serve almost 700 paid members across North America. Membership records began in 2020, with the paid membership program launching in 2021 and the current membership structure established in 2022.
