Hyepin Im, KCCD President, Honored with the Mil-Al "Wheat" Award
 
Christian Federation of Korean Women in U.S.A. recognized four honorees at their 23rd Annual Mil-Al "Wheat" Awards Ceremony.  This prestigious award recognizes individuals who have dedicated their lives to serving the community much like the grain of wheat described in the Bible.
 
This year the Christian Federation recognized Hyepin Im, KCCD President and CEO, for her dedication and leadership in serving the Korean American community. It is noteworthy that this is the first time the Christian Federation recognized a 2nd generation Korean American with this lifetime achievement award.
 
Hyepin Im, KCCD President, stated "I am quite honored and humbled to receive this long standing award with such outstanding honorees who are veteran leaders and pioneers in our community. I would like to especially express my deep appreciation to the Christian Federation of Korean Women for their leadership and confidence in giving me this award."
 
Other honorees included Keith S. Kim,  Dr. Luke Kim from UC Davis and Dr. Ja Kyung Rhee.

KCCD와 임혜빈 회장 밀알상 수상
 
재미기독교여성협회 주최로 올 23해를 맞는 밀알상 수상식에서 임혜빈 KCCD회장과 김익창 UC대이비스 교수등 4명이 수상의 영애를 안았습니다.
 
밀알상은 기독교 정신에 입각해 묵묵히 밀알처럼 사랑을 실천하는 사회봉사자들을 발굴해 그 공로를 치하하기 위해 마련됬으며 올해가 23회로 긴 기간동안 많은 사회인물을 발굴해 왔습니다.
 
올해는 특히 한인 1세에 국환돼 왔던 수상자 선정에서 벗어나 처음으로 임혜빈 KCCD 회장이 선출되었습니다. 1.5세 리더로 KCCD를 창설해 한인사회와 교회의 정치/경재적 발전에 앞장서온 결과로 '자랑스런 한국인' 상을 받았습니다.
