Pro Meritis Recipients
The Pro Meritis Award is the most prestigious and is presented for exceptional service to CIOMR including holding a board office. It is awarded by a unanimous decision of the Board, (excluding the potential recipient if he is currently serving).
Note: it is not known when the Pro Meritis was founded. The first recipient that could be traced received the Pro Meritis in 1979; there is no information from before that year Note: the names of those officers who served in more than one function on the board appear under that office which they filled last before receiving the distinction
