The Marion Rose Service Award was established by the HEART Society to recognize outstanding long-term involvement in, and service to, the Hardened Electronics and Radiation Technology Community, in celebration of Marion’s example.
Marion Rose (1940-2009) was a founding father and ardent supporter of the HEART society and annual conference from its inception. Marion served on the inaugural HEART Steering Committee as Treasurer, and in that role guided the fiduciary formation of HEART as the premier professional organization for radiation-hardened technology community. He was instrumental in every aspect of the HEART operation over three decades, including serving in several roles on the Steering Committee and the annual conference committees.
Marion’s career in radiation effects began in 1966, with his professional work spanning General Atomics, IRT, Maxwell Labs, and Physitron; finally rising to Principal Scientist at L-3 Jaycor in 1996, where he worked until weeks of his death. He is remembered for this expertise in Transient Radiation Effects on Electronics and neutron radiation effects; participating in all phases of nuclear weapon and natural radiation survivability programs, including environment definition, hardened design, verification and validation, hardness assurance, maintenance, and surveillance.
Throughout his long and productive career, and his service to HEART, Marion was a mentor and friend to many of those involved in the military and aeronautics community, including many still active within the HEART society. He served tirelessly, with a keen sense of community, wherever he was needed, without the desire for accolades or recognition. He stood ready and willing to give his wise counsel to others, always with a twinkle in his eye. He is greatly missed by the radiation effects community.
This award honors Marion’s commitment to community and service. 
The inaugural 2019 Award was presented to the Marion Rose family to commemorate his exemplary leadership, guidance, and inspiration.
Purpose of the Award:
To recognize individuals "For Service and Involvement in Hardened Electronics and Radiation Technology Community"
