Each year the Belgian-American Association has recognized one of its members with a plaque in their honor for their contributions to the B.A.A or the Belgian community. Originally, this award was called the Man of the Year Award. In 2002, the name of the award was changed to be a memorial to Don Werbrouck in honor of the many years that he served the club and the Belgian community. The following is a listing of the award recipients:
