ROSE is an acronym for Recognition of Service Excellence. The Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association coordinates the annual event to recognize employees and volunteers who positively influence a visitor’s experience in Indianapolis, either through one-on-one contact or behind-the-scene action. These individuals help enhance the city’s reputation as a hospitable site for meetings, conventions, trade shows group tours and leisure travel.

Supervisors nominate these non-management honorees based on their courteous attitude, knowledge of the workplace and the city, ability to meet and exceed customer expectations and problem solving skills. They represent their companies and Indianapolis as true ambassadors of good will.

A panel of community leaders will serve as judges to select ROSE Award recipients for lifetime achievement and exceptional service during 2009. More than 70 individuals will be honored at the gala event. Mayor Greg Ballard is scheduled to present the awards at this year’s 19th annual ROSE Awards.
