***Guest award presenter, The Sigma Alpha Omega® Foundation President Brett Pasquinelli presented three awards: the Grace Award, the SAOF President's Choice (Director of the Year) Award, and the 3rd annual 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.
