Nominations are now being sought for the 17th annual ROSE Awards. We encourage all of our partners to support and participate in the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association's ROSE Awards by nominating an outstanding employee for this distinguished honor. The 17th annual ROSE Awards, our marquis event recognizing the contributions of hospitality industry workers throughout the city, will take place on Wednesday, March 12, 2008, in the Sagamore Ballroom of the Indiana Convention Center. Nominations are due by January 11, 2008.

ROSE Award honorees are true good will ambassadors for their companies and the city. We hope you will take the opportunity to recognize your employees who exemplify service excellence by nominating up to two of them for this prestigious award.

The mission of the ROSE Awards is to honor non-managerial hospitality employees who exemplify excellent customer service. These industry champions, through one-on-one or behind-the-scenes contact, positively influence a visitor's experience in Indianapolis.

The ROSE Awards could not take place without the generous support of our sponsors. Sponsorship opportunities are available at all levels and we invite your participation. On this website you will find the following:

We thank those who have supported the event in the past and hope you will be able to participate by submitting nominations and/or sponsoring our event. As always, we are grateful for your partnership with the ICVA and appreciate all you do for us throughout the year.

Sincerely,

Bob Bedell President & CEO	Marge Tarplee ROSE Awards Chair
