Past Presidents of the Tournament of Roses Association
The Tournament of Roses Parade has become such a large event that it requires 80,000 hours of combined manpower each year. The Tournament of Roses Association has a group of 935 members, each whom is assigned to one of 35 committees, and 45 student ambassadors.
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 and selecting a Grand Marshal. The President also approves lists of equestrian units and bands recommended by other volunteers. The President has many duties including visiting each of the band participants during the year before the Parade.
