The CMSA Medal is an award for long and meritorious service to Combinatorics. This medal is established to pay tribute to those members of the CMSA who, over a long period, have taken a significant leadership role in the CMSA and who have made valuable contributions to Combinatorics, mainly in Australia and New Zealand.
