The Awards Ceremony was held at University of North Carolina Wilmington in the Lumina Theater on Friday, June 1, 2023 during the 19th Annual Convention. Presiding was the 2022-2023 National Board of Trustees: Claire McAuliffe, Elizabeth Kroner, Liz Downer, Magen Nelson, Brett Pasquinelli, Emma Clyde, Elise Tiralli, and Cayce Lee (Natasha Lyons and Elisa Wydotis were absent). Also of note, two of four Founding Sisters were present in the audience: Mrs. Kim Rogers Pereira and Ms. Kathryn Meyers.

***Guest award presenter, The Sigma Alpha Omega® Foundation Vice President Erika Hanson presented three awards on behalf of the Interim President Chelsey Shirley Murdock, who was unable to attend due to the birth of her first child: the Grace Award, the SAOF President's Choice (Director of the Year) Award, and the newly minted "gem award" which was officially renamed in light of the new official gemstone of Sigma Alpha Omega the following day as the Rose Quartz Award. The Rose Quartz Award is given to a chapter that makes a inspiring effort to maximize their participation in the annual Convention that year, whether from large active and alumnae registration numbers, financial obstacles overcome, and/or distance traveled. The Grace Award is given to a sister who has distinguished herself in service to the official charitable foundation of Sigma Alpha Omega and/or the sisterhood at large. The SAOF President's Choice, or Director of the Year, Award is selected by the current President of the SAO Foundation in recognition of a fellow Foundation Director who has distinguished herself in her volunteer role with the Foundation. Accompanying Erika Hanson at the Awards Ceremony were fellow Directors Scarleth Andino, Abby McHenry, and Jashania Gatling-Garrette. In addition to Chelsey's absence, Director Kelli Anne Gecawich was unable to be in attendance.
