Bill Meyer received the American Bar Association Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative's (CEELI) prestigious Volunteer Award at the American Bar Association's 2004 annual meeting. Bill has found time in his otherwise busy schedule to contribute hundreds of hours (and during sabbaticals, two entire years) to promote democracy and the rule of law worldwide. Bill is only the third person to receive this award, which will be given this year to Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. In addition to serving on CEELI's Advisory Board for many years, Bill has worked on international initiatives in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Slovakia, Albania, Montenegro, Macedonia, Armenia, Cambodia, Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Yemen, Liberia and Kenya.
