IUVSTA Procedures Manual
Certificates of Appreciation are presented to those who have served IUVSTA in some official capacity or who have rendered special services.
Below is an outline of the certificate and instructions for completion.The name of the recipient is to be inserted on the upper line, but on the second line the IUVSTA position of the recipient should be mentioned. The Latin "munus, muneris, n." means obligation, profession, office, service. The translation of the certificate into English is therefore
