Matt Gaffney thought it was appropriate to announce some awards this year.  Having done some extensive analysis, the awards have gone to:

• Jo Mein as ‘Hero Rose’ –  For resilience as the aviation industry stalled due to COVID-19 and through other challenges thrown up by 2020 … and for a breathtaking presentation at a Roses and Thorn Virtual Soiree
• Maryanne Pidcock as ‘Super-engaged Rose’ –  For active participation in 25 of 27 Roses and Thorn Virtual Soirees … and for the volunteering of support to a number of Roses
• Helena Mileo as ‘Emerging Rose’ – For resilience, adaptability and initiative as her Yale studies were stalled due to COVID-19 … and for a sense of what Helena can pursue and achieve beyond those studies on the world stage.
