The annual ribbon-cutting ceremony marks the moment when special efforts are recognised with a royal honour. Around the birthday of His Majesty the King, concerned Dutch nationals receive an appointment to the Order of the Netherlands Lion or the Order of Orange-Nassau.

This year too, several members of the Royal Netherlands Society of Engineers (KIVI) were decorated on 24 April. We are proud of their contribution and congratulate:

  • Mr. ir. bc. J.A. Melkert - Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau;
  • Mr. ir. F. Bosman -Member in the Order of Orange-Nassau;
  • Mr. ir.  M.W.C.M. van de Laar - Member in the Order of Orange-Nassau;
  • Mr. ir. P.H.M. Rooijmans - Member in the Order of Orange-Nassau. (photo below)
