TBABJ Receives Community Service Awards

In recognition for our work in the community, TBABJ received two important awards this year from black-focused community groups.

On Oct. 13, the Top Ladies of Distinction, a nationally-known community services group, presented us with the community services award in Tampa during their national convention.

Just a few months earlier, the Sigma Pi Phi Gamma Omicron Boule on Feb. 10 presented TBABJ members with its 2007 Gamma Omicron Award for Excellence during a ceremony which included a rousing speech from Dr. Michael Eric Dyson at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Tampa.

Both of these awards are a testament to the hard work and dedication of all TBABJ members, who have helped us hold community forums, offer journalism workshops, mentor young journalists and distribute nearly $5,000 in scholarships to students of color who seek to study journalism.

Thanks to everyone who helped TBABJ earn these prestigious honors.
