Ambassador of the Year
The Ambassador of the Year Award is given annually to an Ambassador member who has gone beyond the call of duty to serve the Ambassador organization. This individual should really embody the mission of the Ambassadors of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival. In order to receive the Award, a nominee must be a member of the Ambassador organization with current dues paid. The recipient can be a general member, board member, or a Past Board or Ambassador Member.

Kara Pasma
Kara has gone above and beyond ensuring all events would be successful while ensuring the experience of the candidates, the royal family and other members of the ambassadors were still the top priority.
