Since 2005, the MLK Community Center has bestowed the Keeper of the Dream award annually during the Annual Meeting, honoring those whose outstanding commitment most embodies the ideals of our namesake, Dr. King.  The Volunteer of the Year award was created in 2007 and in 2012, the MLK added an award to recognize businesses or community partners with exceptional commitment.
