Distinguished Emeritus Membership Award

2021 Nominations Window Now Open

Each year the IOA Board of Directors solicits nominations for the honor of Distinguished Emeritus membership status in recognition of outstanding and dedicated service to the organization and profession. This award is only presented once a year and the recipients receive complimentary, non-transferable, life-long memberships to IOA along with a complimentary registration to the conference for the year they receive the honor.

Please help IOA recognize deserving fellow ombuds for their accomplishments and contributions to our field. Submit a nomination for an IOA Distinguished Emeritus Member today.

This honor is only awarded to a small number of IOA retired members each year at the IOA's annual conference and includes a lifetime free membership to IOA. Nominators and nominees must be IOA members in order to participate.
