Annual Awards Weekend
The Author Awards were created in 1992 to recognize those authors
and publishers that have made significant contributions in the writing
and publication of quality books for and about people of African
descent. Each year individuals are selected based upon book reviews
from each Go On Girl! Book Club chapter. They are then invited to
receive their award in person at the annual Awards Ceremony.
Beginning in 1993, the one night event became a three-day weekend,
where chapters meet and take care of business issues. It's also
an opportunity for members to meet and have fun with their sisters
from all over the country.
