The Eleanor Jones Tanner Woman of the Year Award for 2020 was presented to Carol O'Bryon Rogich at the Scholarship Fashion Show, April 17, 2021, on the boardwalk behind Patchington's Boutique in Isla del Sol. To say that the award was presented in an unusual and creative venue would be an understatement - but this has been an unusual pandemic year. Kudos to our leadership for coming up with an event that was fun and safe!
Carol earned a BS in Applied Design from the University of Maryland and has been an Interior Designer/Artist for 40 years. Professionally, she has been a member of the American Society of Interior Designers (33 years), Executives Association of Baltimore, Mid-Atlantic Planning Association, and the Engineers' Society of Baltimore. She served as a Board member/President in each. Carol is a Pi Beta Phi and is the first from her sorority to receive this award. She has been very active in her sorority's alumnae club for 28 years and has served as President. She has been a member of this alumnae panhellenic association for 7 years, serving as Newsletter Editor, Secretary, Vice President, President, Advisor and even volunteered to chair the Bylaws Review Committee (an arduous task to be sure!). |
Other community service and activities include a 31-year member of Rotary International (served as President, Vice President and Board Director; recognized as Rotarian of the Year) and Tierra Verde Women's club (23 years, served as Vice President and President).
On her sorority's nomination form, they said this: "Carol helps women when she can, at anytime she can. She is a worker bee, not the Queen!"
Carol was presented with an engraved glass plate, the Woman of the Year pin, and the traditional bouquet of red carnations in memory of Eleanor Jones Tanner. Our congratulations to Carol!
