The goal of presenting these awards to to recognize the hard work and dedication of the recipients. In addition it would be our hope to increase awareness within and outside the GLBTI Community of the recipients and their efforts, thus increasing support. A more steadfast, consistent, and connected community is required for these recipients to be successful, and for our GLBTI community to further develop to the fullest positive potential.
