On November 19th, 2009, 100 Black Men of Metro Baton Rouge hosted the Brotherhood Sisterhood Award Dinner at the Hilton Capital Center. Stephen M. Toups, Corporate Vice President of Turner Industries, served as this year's Chairman. The awards went to Christel Slaughter, Partner in SSA Consultants and Myrtle Dorsey, Chancellor of Baton Rouge Community College.

The Brotherhood Sisterhood Award Dinner recognizes individuals in the Greater Baton Rouge community who have devoted their professional, philanthropic, and volunteer capacities to humanitarian service. In advancing the mission of joining hands across racial, socioeconomic, ethnic, and religious lines, the honorees of the Brotherhood Sisterhood Award have worked to break down the barriers that divide our community and prevent us from working and living together in harmony.

This award is steeped in tradition, starting in 1963 under the leadership of the Baton Rouge Chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews (NCCJ). In 2006, the 100 Black Men of Metro Baton Rouge assumed the legacy of this event from the NCCJ, which closed its doors in Baton Rouge that same year.
