Other municipalities
Two residents of other municipalities will also receive their ribbons from Mayor Aboutaleb. Their achievements are in Rotterdam, which is why the award ceremony takes place in Rotterdam City Hall. This concerns an appointment as Member of the Order of Orange-Nassau and an appointment as Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau.
In addition, two Rotterdam residents received their ribbons in another municipality. They receive their decoration in the municipality of Maassluis for their services there and are both appointed Members of the Order of Orange-Nassau.
