The Inaugural Vanguard Awards Luncheon: Celebrating Champions of Change

A remarkable event is on the horizon. The Black Empowerment & Community Council is proud to announce the Inaugural Vanguard Awards Luncheon, a prestigious occasion dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the unsung heroes among us—those individuals whose extraordinary efforts have significantly contributed to the empowerment and upliftment of our community. Set against the backdrop of the Kissimmee Civic Center on June 20th, this event promises to be a memorable celebration of leadership, innovation, and community spirit.

A Celebration of Inspiration

The Vanguard Awards Luncheon is not just an event; it's a testament to the power of dedication and service. It's a platform where the spotlight shines on those who've tirelessly worked behind the scenes, those who've led by example, and those whose contributions have fostered a stronger, more inclusive community. From education and health to economic development and social justice, the awards cover a broad spectrum of categories, each reflecting the diverse ways in which our honorees have made a difference.

Special Awardees Leading the Way

Among the distinguished honorees are individuals whose names have become synonymous with progress and positive change within Osceola County. Deloris McMillon, recipient of the Vanguard Legacy Award, has been a steadfast advocate for civil rights, her leadership earning her the NAACP's Lifetime Achievement Award. Christiana Morris, celebrated for her role in spurring economic growth as the Economic Development Director for Osceola County, has paved the way for new opportunities and prosperity. Justin Cloud, through his passion and commitment as the Executive Director and Founder of The Cloud Family Foundation, has made significant strides in youth development and community service.

These special awardees, among others, exemplify the essence of the Vanguard Awards—individuals whose actions and achievements resonate far beyond the confines of a single event, inspiring a legacy of continued community engagement and empowerment.
