Brenda Howard Award
The Brenda Howard Award was created in 2005 by the Queens Chapter of PFLAG.[1]
This award to be given yearly, recognizes an individual or organization whose work on behalf of the LGBT Community best exemplifies the vision, principals and community service exemplified by the late bisexual rights activist Brenda Howard and who serves as a positive and visible role model for the Bisexual Community.
This is the first time a major American LGBT organization has named award after an out bisexual member of the LGBT community.
In addition to the “Brenda Howard Award” the chapter also presents the “Morty Manford Award”[2] and the “Carmel Tavadia Memorial Award”[3].
