Honorary Members

Honorary Membership may be granted to individuals who have provided outstanding service to PACRAO over the years. Typically, recipients have left the profession by retiring or by entering a different field of work. The Past President solicits nominations from the membership and forwards names to the Executive Board for consideration. The Executive Board decides on the annual recipient(s) to be honored at the annual meeting.
