Margaret K. Williams, for whom these awards are named, was a member of the Pierce County Arts Commission. She was active in the arts for many years and played a major role in shaping the Commission's ongoing commitment to the recognition and celebration of Pierce County's cultural diversity. Following her death in 1990, the Commission named these awards in her honor.
