Presidents of the Tournament of Roses Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tournament of Roses Parade has become such a large event that it requires 65,000 hours of combined manpower each year, or the equivalent of roughly 7.42 years of combined manpower. Fortunately for the Tournament of Roses Association, the group has 935 members and 38 student ambassadors, each whom is assigned to one of 34 committees. ^[1]

This group is headed by a president. The newly elected President of the Tournament of Roses has the duty of picking a theme for the forthcoming festivities. Most of the floral floats in the parade are inspired by this theme.
