In 2022, the Council of State Restaurant Associations (CSRA), in collaboration with DoorDash, introduced an award program aimed at acknowledging and showcasing exceptional and innovative efforts by state restaurant associations in the domains of advocacy, foundation work, marketing, and membership campaigns. The CSRA Award Program was officially launched in 2023, receiving a substantial number of nominations and culminating in the recognition of deserving winners during the inaugural presentation held in Scottsdale, AZ at the Fall Government Affairs Conference.
