"Only when people mutually respect each other, overcome their differences with civility and compassion, and are eventually moved to embrace our commonality and collective responsibility will there be an equitable world."

"True to our tradition, we will continue to recognize individuals and organizations who demonstrate exemplary leadership and courage towards promoting equality. The most distinguished honor our organization bestows will continue to be given at the Humanitarian Awards and Dinner Celebration which will be held in April, 2007."
