Our 2024 Awardees

At each national convention, our annual awards highlight the achievements of individuals and our branches, trailblazers who are actively on the front lines driving progress in business, law, education, and other sectors. 

In honoring their work and commitment, we aim to further the legacy of our organization, while championing future generations of civil rights leaders.
